ElasticSearch and Kibana images setup with XPack

I tried to use official Kibana and ElasticSearch images but they just exit with error messages. And after a few seconds after launch the state of the containers looks like this: 

     Name             State               
------------------------------
elasticsearch        Exit 1                                                                             
elasticsearch1       Exit 78                                                                           
mongotest_kafka_1    Up        
mongotest_kibana_1   Exit 1

The error message for one of the images:

elasticsearch1    | ERROR: [1] bootstrap checks failed
elasticsearch1    | [1]: max virtual memory areas vm.max_map_count [65530] is too low, increase to at least [262144]

I am not sure whether some configurations in my docker-compose.yml are wrong:

This needs to be configured on the docker host (the elastic stack has some requirements above default Linux host installs). Elastic has documentation on this process, including the virtual memory settings. For this specific error, you can run the following:

sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

You'll want to configure this in /etc/sysctl.conf so the setting survives a reboot.
