Gentics Mesh Docker Compose Stack

This repository contains an example docker compose stack for the Headless CMS Gentics Mesh

The stack contains the following components:

• Gentics Mesh
• Elasticsearch

Usage

git clone git@github.com:gentics/mesh-compose.git
cd mesh-compose
docker-compose up -d

Problems / Solutions

Elasticsearch does not start.

On some system the Elasticsearch server does not start due to the vm.max_map_count kernel limit.

mesh-elasticsearch | [1]: max virtual memory areas vm.max_map_count [65530] is too low, increase to at least [262144]

Solution see: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html#docker-cli-run-prod-mode

Suggestions

Placing the Elasticsearch data directory on NFS should be avoided since using NFS with Elasticsearch can lead to an unstable and slow search server.
