Hi all,
i'm trying to run ES on a docker hosting service provider and have the problem that the container doesnt start cause of bootstrap checks:
[2017-02-03T13:10:31,019][INFO][o.e.t.TransportService] [dkejAzL] publish\_address {172.17.0.2:9300}, bound\_addresses {[::]:9300}
[2017-02-03T13:10:31,030][INFO][o.e.b.BootstrapChecks] [dkejAzL] bound or publishing to a non-loopback or non-link-local address, enforcing bootstrap checks
ERROR: bootstrap checks failed
max virtual memory areas vm.max\_map\_count [65530] is too low, increase to at least [262144]
A few days ago it seems this has been solved, but i dont get it running.
[This](https://github.com/docker-library/elasticsearch/issues/98) issue states that the container should run anywhere without problems by running locally on my dev box:
docker run -d --name elas elasticsearch -Etransport.host=0.0.0.0 -Ediscovery.zen.minimum\_master\_nodes=1
I got the same problem as the docker hoster, the boostrap checks fail and i cannot change vm.max\_map\_count cause i dont have access to the host where the container will run.
Did i do anything wrong? The issue mentioned that it has been solved, but i dont get it running. Any hints on the next step to try?
thx

Hi,
Did you try the official docker image by Elastic [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-docker](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-docker)?
