Elasticsearch - Bootstrap checks failing max virtual memory areas error-CodePudding

Hello i want to install elk on docker, so i followed the official documentation https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html

So when i want to start Elasticsearch in Docker to get the password generated for the elastic user and the enrollment token for enrolling Kibana but typing this command:

docker run --name es01 --net elastic -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -it docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.1.2

I get this error:

ERROR: [1] bootstrap checks failed.
