Memory Unit issue in .env file

[Mr-ZohaibHassan]

Problem Description:
After Cloning the SORMAS-Docker repository into your local machine, when you try “docker-compose up”. You receive some errors like mentioned below:

error while interpolating services.base-apache2.mem_limit: failed to cast to expected type: strconv.ParseInt: parsing "1000M": invalid syntax

Current Setup:
OS: Windows 10
Docker Client: Docker Desktop 4.3.2 (72729)
Windows Subsystem for Linux Version: WSL2

Quick Fix:
Change All the memory Units in the .env file without “M”. Replace “M” with “000”.
For Example:
APPSERVER_MEM=4300M should be replaced like APPSERVER_MEM=4300000

I encounter the same issue in Linux with Docker version 20.10.12 which now includes docker compose directly.
(This was not working for me for quite some time tbh, I always remove these fields when I work with this repo)

Hi @JonasCir:
Even after fixing this memory unit issue, I am running into another error.

Error response from daemon: Minimum memory limit allowed is 6MB

Any idea about this error?

@zohaibhassan122 I did not encounter this one yet :D For my part, I always completely comment every resource constraint in the base file as none of them work (i.e. are parsed) for me.

Looking at the error I would guess that the value you have there is below minimum, so I would try to double it as long as it works? :D

Reading a bit more it seems that resource limits are not support for docker compose v3, they are only effective if you deploy it in swarm mode(see here)

Poor design choice in my opinion, but I guess there is no way around it.
