hi there, as i was just playing around with sonar in docker on windows (wsl2 backend) i also touched this “challenge” … for me the following snippet from the elasticsearch documentation was helpful. (half way down in the page)
please correct me if i am wrong (and you are able to find some more insights here 
), dear @Tobias_Trabelsi … if i understand it correctly, this vm.max_map_count is something that concerns the “docker host” … not a docker container, right?
my knowledge of docker is also rather bland … e.g. i do not know how / whereon the concept of this init-container applies. until some minutes ago i assumed it was a “basic container” for the sq-container … but now i think it might be serving a different purpose?
leaving this here as it might (also) help my future self some day
