[Question]: Mac computers: Docker-compose is unable to execute sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144.

Describe your problem

Hello. I am using Docker Desktop on a Mac system and I'm unable to configure using this command. sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144. It results in a failure to start Ragflow. Could you please suggest any solutions?

By the way, I am using a Mac with an ARM architecture, and I cannot install docker-machine. Additionally, I am unable to run screen ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/vms/0/tty. Is there a solution you could suggest?

does the ragflow-es-01 container fail for you when you try to run without setting this parameter? I think I am facing the same issue. I used sysctl -a command to check all the system parameters, the vm.max_map_count parameter is not present in the available system parameters on my macOS system.

In short I cannot set this parameter as it does not exist on my Mac M2 OS

may be it's helpful.https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/blob/main/docs%2Fmax_map_count.md

Macs running macOS do not have the vm.max_map_count parameter because it is specific to the Linux kernel. The developers added a "Dockerfile.scratch" script to help with installation on Macs with Apple silicone. However, that is not currently working either. It is too bad! I was looking forward to using Ragflow.

Having trouble running ragflow on M3 Silicon Mac or even building the docker: docker build --no-cache -t infiniflow/ragflow:dev -f Dockerfile.arm .
