Hello folks.

I am facing an issue when trying to deploy Filebeat because there is an OPA policy that prevents the use of hostPath volumes. Is there any alternative method to make it work without relying on hostPath?

```auto
 name: varlibdockercontainers
        hostPath:
          path: /var/lib/docker/containers
      - name: varlog
        hostPath:
          path: /var/log
      - name: varrundockersock
        hostPath:
          path: /var/run/docker.sock

```
