Hello there,  
I want to build an Opensearch cluster on docker with:

- 6 data node
- 1 master node
- 1 coordinating node  
data and master node are taking the righ role :  
node.roles: ‘master’ for the master (m)  
node.roles: ‘ingest’, data’ for the data (di)  
But i have a problem with my coordinating node, i set node.roles: ’ ’ but when i run the cluster the coordinating node take dimr parameter ( data, ingest, master, remote-cluster)  
Do you have any idea why coordining node can’t take the righ role?

For coordinating node, I think you have to explicitly set as false for every node roles :

```auto
 environment:
      - node.master=false
      - node.data=false
      - node.ingest=false

```

Have you tried this ?  
Maybe you can post your docker-compose file / opensearch.yml config.

Another idea, have you tried to make a custom opensearch.yml config file for each node?  
You can define their the roles with the parameters :

```auto
node.master
node.data
node.ingest

```

Thanks for your responce, it work well with:

```auto
environment:
      - node.master=false
      - node.data=false
      - node.ingest=false

```
