Hi,  
I created a vm with Alpine-linux and I am trying to deploy elasticsearch with container but I receive errors when I try do create container:

```
elasticsearch | # There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
elasticsearch | # Native memory allocation (mmap) failed to map 2555904 bytes for committing reserved memory.
elasticsearch | # Can not save log file, dump to screen..
elasticsearch | # Out of Memory Error (os_linux.cpp:2651), pid=29, tid=0x00007337c59ab700

```

Memory situation of my vm is:

```
alpine:~/elastic$ free -m
             total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 7483 239 7244 0 34 128
-/+ buffers/cache: 75 7407
  Swap: 4095 0 4095

```

I set:

```
environment:
  - cluster.name=docker-cluster
  - bootstrap.memory_lock=true
  - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m"

```

in docker-compose.yml  
What can I do?  
Regards
