Following the documentation of FileRun: [https://docs.filerun.com/docker-tika](https://docs.filerun.com/docker-tika) This is my docker-compose.yml, identical to the documentation. I am using Traefik as SSL reverse proxy but I have removed the labels from the FileRun container to keep it readable: ```auto filerun: image: afian/filerun container_name: filerun environment: PUID: ${PUID} PGID: ${PGID} TZ: ${TZ} FR_DB_HOST: mariadb FR_DB_PORT: 3306 FR_DB_NAME: filerundb FR_DB_USER: myusername FR_DB_PASS: mydbpassword APACHE_RUN_USER: www-data APACHE_RUN_USER_ID: 33 APACHE_RUN_GROUP: www-data APACHE_RUN_GROUP_ID: 33 depends_on: - mariadb links: - mariadb - filerun-tika - filerun-elasticsearch ports: - "8000:80" volumes: - ${USERDIR}/docker/filerun/html:/var/www/html - ${USERDIR}/docker/filerun/user-files:/user-files filerun-tika: image: logicalspark/docker-tikaserver container_name: filerun-tika filerun-elasticsearch: image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.4 container_name: filerun-elasticsearch environment: - PUID=${PUID} - PGID=${PGID} - TZ=${TZ} - cluster.name=docker-cluster - bootstrap.memory_lock=true - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m" ulimits: memlock: soft: -1 hard: -1 mem_limit: 1g volumes: - ${USERDIR}/docker/filerun/esearch:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data ``` Problem: ElasticSearch container stops after a few seconds. I do not see an error in the log, making it difficult for me to understand where to look for the problem. ```auto [2020-05-14T13:55:27,867][INFO][o.e.n.Node] [] initializing ..., [2020-05-14T13:55:27,925][INFO][o.e.e.NodeEnvironment] [qHf94dl] using [1] data paths, mounts [[/usr/share/elasticsearch/data (/dev/nvme0n1p2)]], net usable_space [709.8gb], net total_space [953.3gb], types [btrfs], [2020-05-14T13:55:27,926][INFO][o.e.e.NodeEnvironment] [qHf94dl] heap size [494.9mb], compressed ordinary object pointers [true], [2020-05-14T13:55:27,927][INFO][o.e.n.Node] node name [qHf94dl] derived from node ID [qHf94dlLTAOf3UGid6pBAw];

It clearly states that ```auto [1]: max virtual memory areas vm.max_map_count [65530] is too low, increase to at least [262144], ``` Please read: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/vm-max-map-count.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/vm-max-map-count.html) And set it on the host level. ---

Thanks, I have suggested the FileRun team to add it to their documentation of ElasticSearch installation as well. ---
