Hello,

Run 'docker ps -a', find a container with 'exited' state, and then run 'docker logs ' and post the results here.

Also, could you share the business issue you're solving/trying to solve with Ambar with me? It'll help us develop it into a better product. Thanks.

I solved it by setting ES memory to:
sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

I use ambar for searching PDF and MS Word Documents (CVs) and improving full-text search for users.
