It's already been chgrp'd with the same permissions right, so why do we need this?

Unless there's some other similar edge-case going on here, I think it's this podman bug: containers/podman#27720

Note also that the existing chgrp only affects the contents of /usr/share/elasticsearch/data but not the dir itself as it already exists and is not deleted/modified here. elasticsearch expects permission on the dir itself.

When running the docker-compose stack using podman, the elasticsearch container crashloops due to lacking permissions on
/usr/share/elasticsearch/data.As workaround, running
podman exec -it -u0 headway-pelias-elasticsearch-1 chown 1000:1000 /usr/share/elasticsearch/datafixes this and makes everything run fine.containers/podman#27720
