Hello,

Does anyone have a well-known/best practice solution on how to manage
memory and cpu use by docker on mac? A lot of times my docker installation
uses up all the available memory and slows everything else down. The only
solution, then, is to quit and restart docker. I am new to using docker. My
mac has 8gb ram and runs a ssd.

Thank you.

Oh no worries. I am on High Sierra (10.13).

Recently I have been restarting Docker to deal with the issue.

Thanks!

Hey Anurag!

There are sliders in Preferences > Advanced for CPU and Memory usage limit.
For me, the defaults work just fine, so I never had to fiddle. I guess if
you fiddle with those, that’ll reduce the usage of the resources.

Cheers!
