Elasticsearch startup fails if Bitbucket Server docker container is started as "root"
Platform Notice: Data Center Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the data center platform.
Problem
When a Bitbucket Server running as a docker container is started as root user (by modifying RUN_USER in Bitbucket Dockerfile), embedded Elasticsearch process fails to start.
The following appears in the atlassian-bitbucket.log

Environment
- docker
- Bitbucket Server docker image
- Embedded Elasticsearch
Cause
Elasticsearch cannot be started as root.
Workaround
Modifle Bitbucket Dockerfile (or revert to its default version) and rebuild Bitbucket Server docker image.
