ElasticSearch container won't start up in Docker - docker

Question

I'm attempting to run this script in Win10 to configure everything.
All containers except the elastic container are initialized correctly and
Elastic times out and then exits with code 124.

I'm running this script where I didn't touch anything except the Windows ports (you can see the comments)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Do you have the logs from the elasticsearch container to share? Without that it's hard to tell why it's exiting.
One thing that's tripped me up repeatedly though is the vm.max_map_count setting - the default in Docker is too low for elasticsearch to function, so it's a good first thing to check.
