FWIW, this works with elasticsearch 5.1:
- on HOST (since containers can't change this setting), run "sysctl -w
vm.max_map_count=262144" (and create the appropriate file in
/etc/sysctl.d/, if you wish)
- create a container (default unpriv xenial containers work fine), install
openjdk-8-jdk-headless in container
- on container: add elasticsearch repository, then "apt install
elasticsearch". It will fail. That's fine for now.
- add "ES_SKIP_SET_KERNEL_PARAMETERS=true" to /etc/default/elasticsearch
- add "network.host=10.0.3.154" (whatever your NIC ip is, obviously) to
/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml
- apt install -f
- systemctl start elasticsearch

it should then work
