I'm running ealsticsearch 7.0.0 in docker. But the elasticsearch container always terminates just after I start it.  
I've configured docker as what [official reference](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.4/docker.html) said.  
`$ screen ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/vms/0/tty`  
`sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144`  
And an error is still logged out:

```auto
[1] bootstrap checks failed
[1]: the default discovery settings are unsuitable for production use; at least one of [discovery.seed_hosts, discovery.seed_providers, cluster.initial_master_nodes] must be configured

```

So where can I confirm that the **vm.max\_map\_count** setting is configured correctly? Or maybe because of other reasons?

Thanks in advance!

The message isn't related to `vm.max_map_count`.

Please read [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/bootstrap-checks.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/bootstrap-checks.html)

thanks a lot. I've started container with docker-compose.yml I configured and it worked.
