multipass Unify VM resource minima in Daemon/CLI/GUI

What are you trying to do? We currently have a minimum of 512M for memory in the GUI, but 128M in CLI. Similar situation with disk: current minima are 512M in the CLI but 1G in the GUI.

What's your proposed solution? We should probably settle on a single value everywhere. Since the images themselves don't have documented minimum requirements, we should probably go with the safest boundary and so align CLI/Daemon with the GUI.

Additional context This should prevent problems like https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/3612.

but 128M in CLI

Just in case - 128Mb didn't actually work for me.

Hi @ricab! I'm working on this right know. I think 500Mb is enough for the minima.

Hi, @ricab.

Its my first time contributing to this project, and I have some questions.

How can I build the project manually on Manjaro or Arch linux? Specifically I don't know how to build the dependencies

Hi, I never tried those platforms TBH. You would need to find the corresponding packages for our dependencies, but perhaps it would be easier to just build in an Ubuntu VM. You could use Multipass for that 🙂

That's a good idea. Thanks

I fix it. I established 512M for the RAM and 10G for disk. This value is which @alexander-potemkin recommended here. But, I don't able to make a PR.

Here is the code of the solution: https://github.com/vicdeveloperr/multipass-vm-minima-resource-issue/tree/main
