I am trying to build a large image with Podman. The build fails with
Reached heap limit Allocation failed
error.
In docker I can avoid this by allocating more memory for docker engine in docker settings.
However, for Podman it doesn't seem to be so easy.
I tried to modify ~/.config/containers/podman/machine/qemu/podman-machine-default.json and increase the memory, then run
podman machine stop
podman machine start
with no luck to solve the problem.
Any ideas?
So after playing around I found out that I was doing the right thing, but it is needed to change the memory amount in two places in the mentioned file (I changed only in one):
"CmdLine" section after -m flag"Memory" section itselfThe following commands are also very handy for quick resolution.
podman machine stop
podman machine rm
podman machine init --cpus 2 --memory 2048
podman machine start
