[...]
ERROR: bootstrap checks failed
memory locking requested for elasticsearch process but memory is not locked

probably that configuration is missing in the alpine base image?

This same config was working on 5.0-alpine

reason=Out of memory

You may need to change your limits or see what else on that server is using up your memory.
