Dockerize Elasticsearch 5.x.x

I am trying to run ES 5.0 as a docker container. It is giving me bootstrap check failed error for max\_map\_count. Is there any way can avoid the changes in host to pass this check?

Thank you for the reply.  
I was looking for a way in which I DO NOT need to set this property at host level.  
It seems there was a patch some 2 weeks ago to fix this.
