Kibana-5 fails to launch with custom-config - permission denied

[jmkgreen]

In order to switch-off x-pack components (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/installing-xpack.html) I have supplied my own kibana.yaml file and provided the following 'CMD' instruction via a docker-compose.yaml file:

kibana -c /usr/share/kibana/kibana-5.yaml

On launch, I now get the following:

"type":"log","@timestamp":"2016-11-14T14:58:13Z","tags":["fatal"],"pid":13,"level":"fatal","message":"EACCES: permission denied, open '/usr/share/kibana/optimize/bundles/monitoring.entry.js'","error":{"message":"EACCES: permission denied, open '/usr/share/kibana/optimize/bundles/monitoring.entry.js'","name":"Error","stack":"Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/usr/share/kibana/optimize/bundles/monitoring.entry.js'\n    at Error (native)","code":"EACCES"}}

Presumably something to do with the permissions run when the start-up script does not get run with kibana as the only argument?

Can you provide your full docker run line or docker-compose.yml file contents?

Are you doing any bind mounts or installing anything in your own Dockerfile which is FROM this image?

The docker-entrypoint.sh script we use doesn't touch any file permissions, but it does switch to the kibana user, so any files Kibana needs to access at runtime need at least read permissions for that user. 👍

This image is officially deprecated in favor of upstream's images (see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/_pulling_the_image.html).

For more information, please see docker-library/elasticsearch#160, docker-library/docs#842, and docker-library/docs#945.

This image has been deprecated in favor of the official kibana image provided and maintained by elastic.co. The upstream images are available to pull via docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:[version] like 5.4.2. The images found here will receive no further updates once the 5.6.0 release is available upstream. Please adjust your usage accordingly.

Elastic provides open-source support for Kibana via the elastic/kibana GitHub repository and the Docker image via the elastic/kibana-docker GitHub repository, as well as community support via its forums.

Thanks!
