Hi guys,

I'm trying to spin up an elastic cluster using docker compose according to this documentation: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-get-started/current/get-started-docker.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-get-started/current/get-started-docker.html)

I created the described files, but after executing:

`docker-compose -f create-certs.yml run --rm create_certs`

I have following error:

```

```

I tried with Docker on Windows and with Ubuntu subsystem on windows
