Hi,  
I installed elk-stack using docker-compose with version 7.14.1  
I want to upgrade my stack to 8.13.2.  
what are the steps that I need to do? is it enough to change the version in my compose file and rebuild the image?

As [described in the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.13/setup-upgrade.html) you need to first go to Elasticsearch 7.17 and use the upgrade assistant to identify any potential issues that need to be fixed before going on to Elasticsearch version 8.X.
