Set vm.max_map_count to at least 262144

The vm.max_map_count kernel setting must be set to at least 262144 for production use.

How you set vm.max_map_count depends on your platform.

To view the current value for the vm.max_map_count setting, run:

$ grep vm.max_map_count /etc/sysctl.conf
$ vm.max_map_count=262144

To apply the setting on a live system, run:
$ sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

To permanently change the value for the vm.max_map_count setting, update the value in /etc/sysctl.conf.
