Docker PHP Laravel Composer Memory exhausted Error

Question

I have a Laravel project working on docker. When I want to add a package with "composer require" this error occurs:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1610612736 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 83886080 bytes) in phar:///usr/bin/composer/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/RuleSet.php on line 90

I have changed the memory_limit in php.ini to "-1". The same error continues.

I have tried this command. Updates the composer.json file but then gets killed everytime.

php -d memory_limit=-1 /usr/bin/composer require waavi/sanitizer ~1.0

I have tried "composer update" same error about memory limit.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1610612736 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 8192 bytes) in phar:///usr/bin/composer/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/GenericRule.php on line 36

composer.json file;

I'm using MacOS and Docker.

I've tried to composer clear-cache and composer install command.

In docker-compose.yml

php:
    container_name: php-server
    build: ./php/
    volumes:
      - ./..:/var/www
      - ./php/ini:/usr/local/etc/php // note that this line maps docker's /usr/local/etc/php

At your php Dockerfile directory under ini/conf.d/ create a file named memory_limit.ini So your directory will be .../php/ini/conf.d/memory_limit.ini Inside memory_limit.ini

memory_limit = -1
