Question

ElasticSearch - cannot run two es docker containers at the same time
I'm trying to run 2 services of ElasticSearch using docker-compose.yaml
Every time I run docker-compose up -d only one service is working at time. When I try to start stopped service it runs but the first one which was working before, stops immediately.
This is how my docker-compose.yaml looks like:
version: '3.1'
services:
es-write:
image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.17.0
container_name: es-write
environment:
- discovery.type=single-node
- TAKE_FILE_OWNERSHIP=true
ulimits:
memlock:
soft: -1
hard: -1
ports:
- 9200:9200
es-read:
image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.17.0
container_name: es-read
environment:
- discovery.type=single-node
- TAKE_FILE_OWNERSHIP=true
ulimits:
memlock:
soft: -1
hard: -1
ports:
- 9201:9200
sqs:
image: "roribio16/alpine-sqs:latest"
container_name: "sqs"
ports:
- "9324:9324"
- "9325:9325"
volumes:
- "./.docker-configuration:/opt/custom"
stdin_open: true
tty: true

Tldr;
I believe you get the known <container name> exited with code 137 error.
Which is docker way of telling you it is OOM (out of memory).
To solve
Define a maximum amount of Ram each container is allowed to use.
I allowed 4GB, but you choose what suits you.
version: '3.1'
services:
es-write:
image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.17.0
container_name: es-write
environment:
- discovery.type=single-node
ports:
- 9200:9200
deploy:
resources:
limits:
memory: 4GB # Use at most 50 MB of RAM
es-read:
image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.17.0
container_name: es-read
environment:
- discovery.type=single-node
ports:
- 9201:9200
deploy:
resources:
limits:
memory: 4GB # Use at most 50 MB of RAM
