Hi folks, I am an elastic noob and I am stuck with running elasticsearch on an Ubuntu 18.04 V-Server with 4 Cores, 8Gb Ram and a 100GB Hard drive. I followed the instructions from this post: [Installieren und Konfigurieren von Elasticsearch unter Ubuntu 18.04 | DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-elasticsearch-on-ubuntu-18-04-de) and I end up with the following error: ![Bildschirmfoto von 2021-03-24 20-52-44](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/d/7d47c7a081b8f26150529bdf7e4aa60e595d6fd9.png) The errors says OutOfMemory, but it should be fine with 8GB? If anyone could help me, would be awesome.. Kind regards! ---

Welcome to our community! 😃 Please don't post pictures of text, they are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂 ---

Could you try change the JVM memory settings? In 7.12 elasticsearch tries to guess this value for you but may be there's something wrong here. > You should rarely need to change Java Virtual Machine (JVM) options. Elasticsearch includes default JVM options that work well for most production environments. If needed, you can override these default options using `jvm.options` files or the `ES_JAVA_OPTS` environment variable. See [Setting JVM options | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/jvm-options.html) and [Advanced configuration | Elasticsearch Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/advanced-configuration.html) Try with something like `-Xmx1g -Xms1g` to start with. Also do you see any elasticsearch logs? ---

I have created a jvm.options file under the jvm.options.d folder and added the line `-Xmx1g -Xms1g`. Is this correct? I have the same error still.

This could be your problem ` max virtual memory areas vm.max_map_count [65530] is too low, increase to at least [262144]` Try increasing it and that should help. ---

If you don't use it, I'd disable machine learning. But I feel like there's a bug. I'm checking a bit more. How much did you set to the heap? Apparently it's using 4gb. ---
