If applicable, attach screenshots or container logs (e.g., the relevant bits of ./scripts/logs) to help explain your problem.

You're using the startup script (./scripts/start) to run Malcolm, or the corresponding icons on the toolbar on the Malcolm install desktop, right? You're not trying to do docker compose up manually?

This should be created automatically on startup, so we need to determine why it's not happening. First, double-check and make sure the file doesn't exist incorrectly somehow (like with the wrong permissions, or as a directory, or something). Run ls -l ./opensearch/opensearch.keystore in your Malcolm installation directory. I assume this returns nothing? If it returns something, either a file with the wrong permissions, or an empty directory, or something else, use sudo rm ./opensearch/opensearch.keystore or sudo rmdir ./opensearch/opensearch.keystore to remove it before trying to start up.

If that doesn't fix the problem, we'll start with extra debugging turned on to figure out where the problem is. Run ./scripts/start -v.

Pretty early on in the startup, you'll see something like this:

...
['docker', 'compose', '--profile', 'malcolm', '-f', '/home/analyst/Malcolm/docker-compose.yml', 'version']() returned 0: ['Docker Compose version v2.29.7', '']

Ensuring "/home/tlacuache/devel/data/Malcolm/zeek/current" exists
Ensuring "/home/analyst/Malcolm/nginx/ca-trust" exists
Ensuring "/home/analyst/Malcolm/netbox/media" exists
...

So, a few lines before the "Ensuring ... exists" stuff, you'll see something about creating the opensearch.keystore file. Can you share that output?

I'm going to convert this from an issue to a discussion in the Troubleshooting section.
