I have installed OpenDistro 1.4.0 and I launch my Elasticsearch build with: ```auto docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9600:9600 -e "discovery.type=single-node" elasticsearch-wao:latest ``` I can create indexes, pipelines, index files, and perform searches - but if I shut down my container and start it up again the repository is empty (no indexes). What am I not doing right? ---

We don't support this non elastic official build here. So you should ask for help in their forums. But as the question is more a Docker question IMO, may be have a look at volumes? The volume might not survive here after a restart. ---
