I ran the command sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144, but problem exist.

Any idea?

Thank you.

@hack3rcon exactly which OS?
Did you stop and start the docker process?

Not to mention that compose will not work because of the incorrect security settings

Also please use 8.13.2 ...

Perhaps you should use the recommended compose here
