Container getting "kernel: __vm_enough_memory: pid: xxxx, comm: cupsd, not enough memory for the allocation"
I try to setup the container on a Fedora 39 host using Portainer.
My compose config:
version: '3.3'
services:
cupsd:
image: olbat/cupsd
container_name: cupsd
volumes:
- '/var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus'
- '/dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb'
ports:
- '631:631'
privileged: true
restart: always
When I deploy the stack, Portainer is telling me that it was successful. But when I look into "Containers" section, I see that the container has no port bound which indicates an issue.
docker container ls output is like this
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
bdd39df5e0d5 olbat/cupsd "/usr/sbin/cupsd -f" 11 minutes ago Restarting (1) 25 seconds ago
So it seems like it is in a restart loop.
journalctl -b | grep cups is showing 3 messages per PID like this:
Apr 20 18:16:37 xxxx.dip0.t-ipconnect.de kernel: __vm_enough_memory: pid: 7902, comm: cupsd, not enough memory for the allocation
Apr 20 18:16:37 xxxx.dip0.t-ipconnect.de kernel: __vm_enough_memory: pid: 7902, comm: cupsd, not enough memory for the allocation
Apr 20 18:16:37 xxxx.dip0.t-ipconnect.de kernel: __vm_enough_memory: pid: 7902, comm: cupsd, not enough memory for the allocation
Do you have an idea how I could get it to work?
Ok, I managed to help myself.
The problem is described here.
Starting the container with the additional parameter --ulimit nofile=1024:1024 will do the trick
