docker SHM_SIZE /dev/shm: resizing shared memory

问题

I want to resize postgres container's shared memory from default 64M. So I add:

build:
      context: .
      shm_size: '2gb'

I'm using version 3.6 of the compose file, postgres service definition.

version: "3.6"

services:

 #other services go here..
 postgres:
    restart: always
    image: postgres:10
    hostname: postgres
    container_name: fiware-postgres
    expose:
      - "5432"
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    networks:
      - default
    environment:
      - "POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password"
      - "POSTGRES_USER=postgres"
      - "POSTGRES_DB=postgres"
    volumes:
      - ./postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    build:
      context: .
      shm_size: '2gb'

However, this change doesn't take effect even though I restart the service docker-compose down then up. So Immediately I start interacting with postgres to display some data on dashboard, I get shared memory issue.

Before lunching the dashboard:

$docker exec -it fiware-postgres df -h

postgres error log:

2019-07-01 17:27:58.802 UTC [47] ERROR:  could not resize shared memory segment "/PostgreSQL.1145887853" to 12615680 bytes: No space left on device

What's going on here?

回答1:

You set shm_size in build, this will just affect build, you need to set it in service level, like next:

docker-compose.yaml:

version: "3.6"

services:

 #other services go here..
 postgres:
    restart: always
    image: postgres:10
    hostname: postgres
    container_name: fiware-postgres
    expose:
      - "5432"
    ports:
      - "5432:5432"
    networks:
      - default
    environment:
      - "POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password"
      - "POSTGRES_USER=postgres"
      - "POSTGRES_DB=postgres"
    volumes:
      - ./postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    build:
      context: .
      shm_size: 256mb
    shm_size: 512mb

Dockerfile:

FROM postgres:10

RUN df -h | grep shm

Then, docker-compose up -d --build to start it and check:

shubuntu1@shubuntu1:~/66$ docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.24.0, build 0aa59064
shubuntu1@shubuntu1:~/66$ docker-compose up -d --build

shm             512M  8.0K  512M   1% /dev/shm

You can see in build time it shows 256m, but the runtime container it shows 512m.
