Version 5.19

Published on 27/09/2017

With this release, easydb has switched to a new version of the Elasticsearch software. The change is done automatically when updating the docker containers, but there is a setting that has to be changed on system administration level, as it is not possible to change it via updated docker images:

The value for the sysctl-key vm.max_map_count needs to be increased:

sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

This can be set in the Start- Script for Elasticsearch-Container or via the instruments used in the Linux distribution (sysctl. conf).
