[BUG]Error when running Docker image

[qmonitoring]

Describe the bug

When I try to run a docker image (following the documentation) I get this error:

tee: /usr/share/opensearch/config/opensearch.yml: Permission denied

The container won't start.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

docker run -p 9200:9200 -p 9600:9600 -e "discovery.type=single-node" -v /usr/share/opensearch/config/custom-opensearch.yml:/usr/share/opensearch/config/opensearch.yml opensearchproject/opensearch:1.2.4

Expected behavior

Opensearch up and running

Host/Environment (please complete the following information):

centos-release-8.2-2.2004.0.1.el8.x86_64

Additional context

I tried many options: change the configuration file, use a old version of the image, but the result was equally unsuccessful. For opensearchproject/opensearch:1.2.3 the error is:

tee: /usr/share/opensearch/config/opensearch.yml: Permission denied
sed: cannot rename /usr/share/opensearch/config/sedZbSzcg: Device or resource busy

Hi @qmonitoring please refer to #1529 for more context and discussion as well as temp fixes that I am preparing to resolve the race condition.

As of now if your yml file is root owned it cannot be updated as that requires a complete change in how we handle the startup variable. Or you can make your yml file owned by opensearch and it should run.

Sorry for inconvinience,
Thanks.
