Overview

For starting Archivematica, using Docker was the easiest method. Installation instructions are documented at the following link.

Following the steps worked well for installation, but I am documenting the points where I encountered failures as a memo.

Elasticsearch container

When starting the Elasticsearch container, instructions were given to set vm.max_map_count.

If this setting is forgotten, the Elasticsearch container would not start, as shown below.

Summary

Regarding Docker startup, it is noted that it is designed for developers, and care should be taken when using it in production environments. We hope this serves as a useful reference for using Archivematica.
