You should be able to replace each container with the updated one, on a rolling basis. What version are you upgrading from? ---

Then yes, you can replace the containers one by one. ---

I don't know how to do it i have only docker-compose file and i am thinking i just download the latest image of elasticsearch,logstash and kibana and modify the docker-compose file but this is not a good idea ---

You should be ok to just update `7.5.0` to whatever you want. Make sure you take a backup though, you cannot downgrade. ---

Hey @warkolm this method is not so much effective . if i run elk service without using docker i can easily update the elk service by using **yum update elasticsearch logstash kibana** ---

This is docker, so it's a totally different approach. Why is that not effective? ---

`docker pull elasticsearch` **Using default tag: latest Error response from daemon: manifest for elasticsearch:latest not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown** This command should download the latest image but it doesn't When i run this ` docker pull docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.8.0` then it pull latest image ---

7.8.1 is the latest version. We intentionally don't provide the `latest` tag so that it forces users to pull the version they want. Otherwise someone may end up with a cluster with different versions. ---
