Docker toolbox cannot allocate memory - docker

I'm trying to get Docker running a container locally on my mac that I've been working on in the cloud. I did the docker commit/save/load find. But when I got to run it locally after I installed docker toolbox I get this error
docker logs es-loaded-with-data
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x00000006c5330000, 4207738880, 0) failed; error='Cannot allocate memory' (errno=12)
Starting elasticsearch: #

If I do docker info
then I get
Total Memory: 1.956 GiB
clearly 2 Gb isn't enough. How do I increase it so my container will run?

Docker on Mac OS runs inside a virtualbox VM with either docker-machine (or older boot2docker). I am not sure if docker-machine supports modifying the VM RAM directly, but you can probably just start the VirtualBox.app and modify the amount of VM Memory directly. Restart the VM et voilรก.

Restarting the docker service solved the problem for me.

How to use vpnkit with minikube on mac

There are many question around this topic, but not the specific info I am after.
Host OS is Mac, and recently had to uninstall Docker Desktop due to their licensing change. So instead we have moved to minikube, and it is all working great with VirtualBox driver.
But ideally we would like to use the hyperkit driver, as it requires less resources than virtualbox, and is (anecdotally) faster. This also all works great until we connect to our VPN (using cisco anyconnect) and then all outbound networking from within the minikube VM stops working. e.g.
k8> minikube ssh "traceroute 8.8.8.8"
traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 46 byte packets
1 host.minikube.internal (192.168.64.1) 0.154 ms 0.181 ms 0.151 ms
2 * * *
Everything else is is fine, inbound networking via ingress is all good. And maven-docker-plugin is happily creating images with the minikube docker daemon. Just nothing outbound.
So figured I'd try to work with VPNKit as I have read it is meant to address this issue. But cannot find a lot of detailed documentation, and so am struggling.
We have tried starting VPNKit with minimal config:
vpnkit --ethernet /tmp/vpkit-ethernet.socket --debug
And then attempt to start minikube, but it fails:

And in the vpnkit log we see:
time="2022-02-14T06:07:57Z" level=debug msg="usernet: accepted vmnet connection"
time="2022-02-14T06:07:57Z" level=warning msg="Uwt: Pipe.listen: rejected ethernet connection: EOF"

time="2022-02-14T06:08:07Z" level=warning msg="Uwt: Pipe.listen: rejected ethernet connection: EOF"
So kind of implies something is not right with how I started vpnkit. Have played with IP args to ensure it all matches, but does not help.
My guess is that the --ethernet=path arg is not the right type of socket. I have seen there is also --vsock-path=path but specifying this does not appear to create the socket file like --ethernet=path does. Do I have to create this some other way?
Or are there other config options I need to mess with. e.g. I thought --gateway-forwards=path could help, but can find no documentation on file format or contents.
So, I guess two main questions:
Is what we are trying even possible? Is it the the right way to go about it? Or is it much more complicated than simply running the vpnkit command?
If we are on the right track, does anyone have experience with this, and know how to set up the socket for minikube+vpnkit+hyperkit? What args, config, or other setup is required?
And just to note: --hyperkit-vpnkit-sock=auto is not an option for us, as we do not have docker installed, and so the docker socket file does not exist.
And just in case its a version issue:

Can I run k8s master INSIDE a docker container? Getting errors about k8s looking for host's kernel details

In a docker container I want to run k8s.
When I run kubeadm join ... or kubeadm init commands I see sometimes errors like
\"modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could
not open moddep file
'/lib/modules/3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7.x86_64/modules.dep.bin'.
nmodprobe:
FATAL: Module configs not found in directory
/lib/modules/3.10.0-1062.1.2.el7.x86_64",
err: exit status 1
because (I think) my container does not have the expected kernel header files.
I realise that the container reports its kernel based on the host that is running the container; and looking at k8s code I see
// getKernelConfigReader search kernel config file in a predefined list. Once the kernel config
// file is found it will read the configurations into a byte buffer and return. If the kernel
// config file is not found, it will try to load kernel config module and retry again.
func (k *KernelValidator) getKernelConfigReader() (io.Reader, error) {
possibePaths := []string{
"/proc/config.gz",
"/boot/config-" + k.kernelRelease,
"/usr/src/linux-" + k.kernelRelease + "/.config",
"/usr/src/linux/.config",
}
so I am bit confused what is simplest way to run k8s inside a container such that it consistently past this getting the kernel info.
I note that running docker run -it solita/centos-systemd:7 /bin/bash on a macOS host I see :
# uname -r
4.9.184-linuxkit
# ls -l /proc/config.gz
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 23834 Nov 20 16:40 /proc/config.gz
but running exact same on a Ubuntu VM I see :
# uname -r
4.4.0-142-generic
# ls -l /proc/config.gz
ls: cannot access /proc/config.gz
[Weirdly I don't see this FATAL: Module configs not found in directory error every time, but I guess that is a separate question!]
UPDATE 22/November/2019. I see now that k8s DOES run okay in a container. Real problem was weird/misleading logs. I have added an answer to clarify.
I do not believe that is possible given the nature of containers.
You should instead test your app in a docker container then deploy that image to k8s either in the cloud or locally using minikube.
Another solution is to run it under kind which uses docker driver instead of VirtualBox
https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/
It seems the FATAL error part was a bit misleading.
It was badly formatted by my test environment (all on one line.
When k8s was failing I saw the FATAL and assumed (incorrectly) that was root cause.
When I format the logs nicely I see ...

There are other errors later, which I originally though were a side-effect of the nasty looking FATAL error e.g. .... "[util/etcd] Attempt timed out"]} but I now think root cause is Etcd part times out sometimes.
Adding this answer in case someone else puzzled like I was.

Headless Chromium on Docker fails

With some sites headless Chromium is failing when it is running inside Docker container:
[0520/093103.024239:ERROR:platform_shared_memory_region_posix.cc(268)] Failed to reserve 16728064 bytes for shared memory.: No space left on device (28)

[0520/093103.024946:FATAL:memory.cc(22)] Out of memory. size=16723968
How should I tune Docker to fix this?
You're running out of shared memory as is described in line 1.

This is handled by /dev/shm which is set to a default of 64mb in Docker, which isn't that much for modern web applications.
For context on /dev/shm see here https://superuser.com/questions/45342/when-should-i-use-dev-shm-and-when-should-i-use-tmp
Option 1:
Run chrome with --disable-dev-shm-usage
Option 2:
Set /dev/shm size to a reasonable amount docker run -it --shm-size=1g replacing 1g with whatever amount you want.

Neo4j Docker Insufficient Memory

I'm having this weird issue with Neo4j in Docker. This is my docker-compose file:
version: '3'
services:
neo4j:
ports:

- "7687:7687"

image: neo4j:3.3
volumes:
neo4j_data: {}
I'm using Docker Toolbox on Windows 10. I have tested this on two different machines and it works perfectly. However, on one machine, the container always crashes a few seconds after creation. Here's the log for this container:

As it turns out, my Docker machine was set to only 1GB of RAM, and the minimum requirement for Neo4j (according to their website) are 2GB. I was able to solve the problem by replacing my default Docker machine according to this guide and giving the new one 4GB of memory.
Essentially, I did the following:
$ docker-machine rm default
$ docker-machine create -d virtualbox --virtualbox-cpu-count=2 --virtualbox-memory=4096 --virtualbox-disk-size=50000 default
you may also need to restart Docker:
docker-machine stop
exit
I haven't found anything about this problem online so far, so maybe this helps someone someday =).

Docker on RHEL 6 Cgroup mounting failing

I'm trying to get my head around something that's been working on a Centos+Vagrant, but not on our providers RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)). A sudo service docker restart hands this:
Stopping docker: [ OK ]
Starting cgconfig service: Error: cannot mount cpuset to /cgroup/cpuset: Device or resource busy
/sbin/cgconfigparser; error loading /etc/cgconfig.conf: Cgroup mounting failed
Failed to parse /etc/cgconfig.conf [FAILED]
Starting docker: [ OK ]
The service starts okey enough, but images cannot run. A mounting failed error is shown when I try. And the startup-log also gives a warning or two. Regarding the kernelwarning, centos gives the same and has no problems as Epel should resolve this:
WARNING: You are running linux kernel version 2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64, which might be unstable running docker. Please upgrade your kernel to 3.8.0.

2014/08/07 08:58:29 WARNING: mountpoint not found
Anyone had any success overcoming this problem or should I throw in the towel and wait for the provider to update to RHEL 7?
I have the same issue.
(1) check cgconfig status
# /etc/init.d/cgconfig status
if it stopped, restart it
# /etc/init.d/cgconfig restart
check cgconfig is running
(2) check cgconfig is on
# chkconfig --list cgconfig
cgconfig 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
if cgconfig is off, turn it on
(3) if still does not work, may be some cgroups modules is missing. In the kernel .config file, make menuconfig, add those modules into kernel and recompile and reboot
after that, it should be OK
I ended up asking the same question at Google Groups and in the end finding a solution with some help. What worked for me was this:
umount cgroup
sudo service cgconfig start
The project of making Docker work was put on halt all the same. Later a problem of network connection for the containers. This took to much time to solve and had to give up.
So I spent the whole day trying to rig docker to work on my vps. I was running into this same error. Basically what it came down to was the fact that OpenVZ didn't support docker containers up until a couple months ago. Specifically this RHEL update:
https://openvz.org/Download/kernel/rhel6/042stab105.14
Assuming this is your problem, or some variation of it, the burden of solving it is on your host. They will need to follow these steps:
https://openvz.org/Docker_inside_CT
In my case
/etc/rc.d/rc.cgconfig start
was generating
Starting cgconfig service: Error: cannot mount cpu,cpuacct,memory to
/cgroup/cpu_and_mem: Device or resource busy /usr/sbin/cgconfigparser;
error loading /etc/cgconfig.conf: Cgroup mounting failed Failed to
parse /etc/cgconfig.conf
i had to use:
/etc/rc.d/rc.cgconfig restart
and it automagicly umouted and mounted groups
Stopping cgconfig service: Starting cgconfig service:
it seems like the cgconfig service not running,so check it!
# /etc/init.d/cgconfig status
# mkdir -p /cgroup/cpuacct /cgroup/memory /cgroup/devices /cgroup/freezer net_cls /cgroup/blkio
# cat /etc/cgconfig.conf |tail|grep "="|awk '{print "mount -t cgroup -o",$1,$1,$NF}'>cgroup_mount.sh
# sh ./cgroup_mount.sh
# /etc/init.d/cgconfig restart
# /etc/init.d/docker restart
This situation occurs when the kernel is booted with cgroup_disable=memory and /etc/cgconfig.conf contains memory = /cgroup/memory;
This causes only /cgroup/cpuset to be mounted instead of the full set.
Solution: either remove cgroup_disable=memory from your kernel boot options or comment out memory = /cgroup/memory; from cgconfig.conf.
The cgconfig service startup uses mount and umount which requires an extra privilege bump from docker.
See the --privileged=true flag here for more info.
I was able to overcome this issue by starting my container with:
docker run -it --privileged=true my-image.
Tested in Centos6, Centos6.5.
