No value for mandatory configuration: section='node', key='root.dir'

This is failing for me with the above error.

I had to bind mount the logs dir to get the logs but I don't think that could have complicated the issue.

This project doesn't seem to be maintained and it appears to be out of date.
The rally tool seems to change as often as and be as backwards-incompatible as elasticsearch itself :-).

Fortunately there seems to be an official image now:
https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docker.html
and this seemed to work for me. I had to add :1.2.1, the latest image reports invalid command line options.

docker run elastic/rally:1.2.1  --track=nyc_taxis --test-mode --pipeline=benchmark-only --target-hosts=192.168.1.147:9200
