Hi

I am following this guide to start ELK in docker images - [Run Elasticsearch locally | Elasticsearch Guide [8.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/run-elasticsearch-locally.html)

I want to expose my kibana to my local network so other devices at home can access those dashboards.

In the past i did it modifying the yaml files, but with the docker images provided already by default i dont know how i can make it work. Is there any parameter i need to send when starting kibana to expose it?  
Thanks

Docker allows to [bind mount local files](https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/) in your container so you can pass any configuration and maybe you want to take a look at this official documentation from Docker on how to expose a container to the host network
