This repo shows how to re-build the official OpenSearch image to use a custom UID + GID.

That can be useful if you need data-persistence (using a volume) and need to map a host-user to the user being used by the container.

The default image uses the UID/GID 1000.

• Patch existing image (faster, easier)

  • Dockerfile
  • Docker-compose

• Re-Build official image

  • Ansible + docker-compose
