How to make a Jupyter Docker container use more memory

Question

I'm running a jupyter/scipy-notebook Docker container. I have not restricted the memory assigned to the container with the run command.

However, what I'm seeing issuing the docker stats command is that the container is limiting its memory usage to 2 GB (on 16 GB available!), even if doing complex calculations.

How is this possible?

Answer 1

Alter the resources (RAM) settings from Docker Desktop - MAC/Windows.

MAC - Docker Desktop

Preferences --> Advanced --> Change Ram Settings

Windows - Docker Desktop

Settings --> Resources --> Change the CPU / RAM / SWAP Settings
