I have installed Splunk docker image in my imac and I am trying to locate indexes.conf file and I need help with locating this file.

SPLUNK_HOME environment variable is also not set. Could you please let me know how to set this environment variable.

I followed the instructions in this path for Splunk installation - https://hub.docker.com/r/splunk/splunk/#How-to-use-the-Splunk-Enterprise-Docker-image

Any input would be really helpful
