wrong estimation of free memory #64

Closed veitveit closed 5 years ago

veitveit commented 5 years ago

The _freemem option underestimates the available memory.

E.g. we had 8 GB and it assigned about 2GB or less.

Could be a Docker issue.

@veitveit What OS was docker running on?

veitveit commented 5 years ago

In the docker toolbox, maybe the default memory of the VirtualBox is too low?

jgriss commented 5 years ago

Hi @veitveit I now double checked: On windows (windows 10 with "native" docker and docker toolbox as well) docker is run in a virtual (linux) machine. Therefore, the memory settings of that machine are what we see in our docker setting.

I will double check how these settings can be adapted in the toolbox setup
