@dendihandian
try docker-compose logs elasticsearch to check error info.

thanks @bestlong , it helped me solved my problem.

I figured out why it's keep stopping everytime I docker-compose up -d elasticsearch. The log says [1]: max virtual memory areas vm.max_map_count [65530] is too low, increase to at least [262144]. So I change the vm.max_map_count value to 262144 with this command in my local machine: sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144.

The vm.max_map_count will be reseted to default value after you reboot your machine.

How do you set the value
sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
in the docker build?

[IgorMashev]

Run sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count = 262144 in the terminal, not in the docker

I am experiencing the same issue on my Mac M2, which runs on MacOS 14.0.

sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count = 262144

I am seeing an error message that says sysctl: unknown oid 'vm.max_map_count'.

[calebjacobo]

This is necessary on Mac. Create a privileged container and set the docker VM max_map_count from there, then exit that container.

docker run -it --rm --privileged --pid=host justincormack/nsenter1

sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
