How to fix Minimum memory limit allowed is 6MB in Docker

# If using docker run directly, check your command for -m or --memory flags
docker run --memory=4m myimage  # This will fail

# Check Docker Compose files for memory settings
grep -r "memory:" docker-compose*.yml

# Minimum valid memory limit
docker run --memory=6m myimage

# A more practical limit for most applications
docker run --memory=64m myimage

services:
  myapp:
    image: myimage
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          memory: 64M
        reservations:
          memory: 32M

services:
  myapp:
    image: myimage
    mem_limit: 64m
    mem_reservation: 32m

# No memory limit - container uses available host memory
docker run myimage

services:
  myapp:
    image: myimage
    # Remove any memory-related fields:
    # - mem_limit
    # - memory
    # - deploy.resources.limits.memory

import docker
client = docker.from_env()

# Memory in bytes - must be at least 6MB (6291456 bytes)
container = client.containers.run(
    "myimage",
    mem_limit="64m"  # Use string with unit suffix
)

curl -X POST "http://localhost:2375/containers/create" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"Image": "myimage", "HostConfig": {"Memory": 67108864}}'

// Memory in bytes
HostConfig hostConfig = HostConfig.builder()
    .memory(67108864L)  // 64MB in bytes
    .build();
