Hello @eric859

Graylog relies on both Mongo and Opensearch to launch during a pre-flight check. In your above example you are attempting to create a container for Graylog and linking it to containers for Mongo and Opensearch without first creating those instances.

If you read further down this page to the example of the docker compose file you should notice it accounts for Mongo, Opensearch and Graylog. Instead of using the command you tried, utilise this this compose file for a complete setup.
