I have setup the ELK stack with Docker and I am using the 6.4.0 version of the same, with Docker version 18.06.0-ce, build 0ffa825.

The docker compose file for the Elasticsearch is

```
elasticsearch:
image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:${ELASTIC_VERSION}
volumes:
  - "./elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml:/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml:ro"
  - "./esdata:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data"
ports:
  - "${ELASTICSEARCH_HTTP_PORT}:${ELASTICSEARCH_HTTP_PORT}"
  - "${ELASTICSEARCH_TCP_PORT}:${ELASTICSEARCH_TCP_PORT}"
environment:
  ES_JAVA_OPTS: "-Xmx2g -Xms2g"
  cluster.name: ${ELASTICSEARCH_CLUSTER_NAME}
  network.publish_host: ${HOSTNAME}
  transport.tcp.port: ${ELASTICSEARCH_TCP_PORT}
  http.port: ${ELASTICSEARCH_HTTP_PORT}
  discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ${HOSTNAME}
env_file:
  - .env
networks:
  - elk
ulimits:
  memlock:
    soft: -1
    hard: -1
  nofile:
    soft: 65536
    hard: 65536

```

When I start the docker I see 2 Xms and Xmx values in the log and hence the heap size is not set right.

Please help me fix it.

Thank you
