Elasticsearch is restarting like a loop after I remove x-pack security

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I downloaded using docker like this and the version I'm using is 5.6.8
docker run --name elasticsearch \
-p 9200:9200 \
-p 9300:9300 \
-v /opt/esdata:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data \
-e xpack.security.enabled="false" \
--restart always \
-d docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.6.8

source directory
/opt/esdata

after that Elasticsearch worked for me until I remove x-pack

after I removed x-pack security like this
docker exec -i -t elasticsearch bash
elasticsearch-plugin remove x-pack
exit
docker restart elasticsearch

the error when I getting from elasticsearch logs
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown setting [xpack.security.enabled] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings

I should remove x-pack and run elasticsearch without any issues because I don't need it anymore so please give me a solution .

Thanks .

As the above said, now that the xpack plugin is not installed , there is no xpack.security.enabled configuration setting, so setting it is wrong. Remove the

-e xpack.security.enabled="false"

part from your docker run command.

after now i'm getting this error
ERROR: [1] bootstrap checks failed
[1]: max virtual memory areas vm.max_map_count [65530] is too low, increase to at least [262144]

for that I just tried this command
sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

still it's getting restart !

what should I wanna do sir ?

Not sure what that means, you need to share the actual error you get.
