Ran into this issue with the docker install of Singlestore but could not find an answer. I was able to solve this by setting my docker host’s vm settings to the Singlestore requirements:

sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=1000000000
sudo sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=4194304

and then restrarting the docker container. Docker shares these values from the host so they cannot be set from within the running container. Hope this helps others with the issue.

Note: forum won’t let me include links in my post, so search for this in the Singlestore documentation: " Configure Linux vm Settings"
