Hello everyone, can someone explain to me, how I can expand limit of 14.53Gb of memory in my Docker.Desktop? I have 32 Gb of DDR5, and I want to use about 20 Gb of RAM, but .wslconfig cant cure this.
Please, share how you tried to set it. Docker Desktop has a link on the Resources tab in the Settings to Microsoft’s documentation about configuring memory limit. There is no other way. Docker uses WSL2 as a backend, but that is one virtual machine with multiple containers called “WSL2 distributions”. Memory limis will be the same for all in the VM. The default setting is 50% of the total memory which is about what you see.
Good day, I’ve created .wslconfig located in C:\Users<my_username>, with this:
[wsl2]
memory=28GB
processors=12
swap=8GB
localhostForwarding=true
It works with processors and swap (I can change my processors and swap, docker desktop will see it), but I can’t get more than 14.53 Gb or RAM for Docker! I can set 2, 5, 7 Gb etc., anything below, but not greater than 14.53 Gb!
PS: found the issue, it was on the system level, nothing to do with Docker itself. Thanks for your reply!
