I am getting below error when adding the setting  
network.host : 0.0.0.0 , added this setting to access the host remotely.

checking further: ERROR: [2] bootstrap checks failed  
[1]: max virtual memory areas vm.max\_map\_count [65530] is too low, increase to at least [262144]  
[2]: system call filters failed to install; check the logs and fix your configuration or disable system call filters at your own risk

I came across a similar problem a while back and went back and checked my notes and here is what I did. Hopefully it helps you out.

Kevin

P.S. Below is just the relevant snippet from my overall doc.

"6. Also need to mess with vm.map\_max\_count  
A. Increase virtual memory limits  
B. Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to add the following line:

vm.max\_map\_count=262144

C. Restart the machine  
D. Run the following command to verify the setting:

sysctl vm.max\_map\_count"
