2GB of memory is not enough for the DB to start up anymore #3040

The runOracle.sh script checks if the container has at least 2GB of memory. However on ARM Mac with Colima I've noticed that the default VM size (which is 2GB of RAM) results in a broken database at startup:

2025-11-11T10:21:51.502385010Z The following output is now a tail of the alert.log:
2025-11-11T10:21:51.504223094Z ORA-1092 : opitsk aborting process
2025-11-11T10:21:51.504225260Z 

and it never goes healthy.

Changing the Colima VM to grant 8GB of RAM to Linux instead of the default of 2GB fixes it. So I think the memory check should be bumped to more RAM, maybe double it?
