Problems getting elasticsearch to work on rancher desktop on macos (docker/moby) while following doc to increase ulimit and sysctl vm.max_map_count. Doc says sysctl line near bottom, for me it worked near top (details in reply coming)

This one did not handle the sysctl change properly in my testing.

lima override.yaml from doc on increasing open files

This lima override.yaml has sysctl closer to top of file, and works for me

That looks like a clear error in the docs, because the first case has the maximum map count check before

EOF

which will places it in the

rancher-desktop.conf

and that doesn’t seem correct 🤔

I believe it was intended to be

provision:
- mode: system
  script: |
    #!/bin/sh
    cat <<'EOF' > /etc/security/limits.d/rancher-desktop.conf
    * soft     nofile         82920
    * hard     nofile         82920
    EOF
    sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

that should also work, but making a limits config file w/ sysctl cmd in it will not work

Thanks for reporting this I have created an issue here: https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/4378 and assigned it to our docs team.
