March 23, 20197 yr Community Expert I have 32GB of ram. I have two VMs set up (one with 16GB and the second with 8GB). Most of the time, I cannot start the second VM and get an error message about ram allocation. If I stop the first VM, I can then start the second instead. Also, I can assign 8GB to each and then can run both at the same time. I believe the reason is that the dockers / unraid core utilize more than the 8GB I had in mind when assigning ram to the VMs. If so, is it possible to isolate ram for dockers/unraid to 8GB. How to do and does it even makes sense to do so?
March 23, 20197 yr 8GB allocation for Unraid itself and the dockers are enourmous. What dockers are you running? With 8 dockers currently running for me they allocate 1 - 1.5GB only.
March 23, 20197 yr Author Community Expert No idea, but my ram is always maxed out. It may be Plex or some other docker. I doubt the dockers actually require that much ram, but just takes whatever is available. That's why I am looking into a way to limit the amount of ram used up by unraid/dockers. Possible or other ideas?
March 23, 20197 yr Go to your docker page and check the allocation for each container in the advanced view. And check which one is using all the RAM. Usual docker usage is a couple MB up to an gig. Above that is unusual. Edit: You can limit the memory usage of a specific docker if you edit the container and add another parameter Edited March 23, 20197 yr by bastl
March 23, 20197 yr Author Community Expert Thanks. Sabnzbd 2%, Radarr 12%, Sonarr 10%, MBZ 3%, Plex 8%. Can I limit it?
March 23, 20197 yr I've edited my last post. The % is the CPU usage, below that is the current RAM usage and the max ammount in your system.
March 23, 20197 yr Author Community Expert Thanks. Mine shows % for both CPU and Ram (in two separate columns). We may be on different Unraid versions? I am on 6.6.7. Thanks for the link above. I'll look into it.
March 23, 20197 yr Oh ok. I forgot to mention I'am on the latest RC. 6.7.0_RC5 I'am not exactly sure what the minimum ammount of RAM is for Radarr, Sonarr and Plex is to run properly. Depends on how big your library is, I guess. Try to limit them to 2G each and check if they are running as usual. Currently all 3 together using almost 10G Edited March 23, 20197 yr by bastl
March 23, 20197 yr @steve1977 With the following in the terminal you should see the memory allocation as I in the RC5 UI docker stats
