Your kernel does not support CPU real-time scheduler - on Ubuntu Server 20.04.4 LTS

General

I am trying to run Oracle RAC in Docker Containers. As a requirement I need to enable Real Time Kernel.
Starting the docker container with:

–cpu-rt-runtime=95000 --ulimit rtprio=99

fails with:

Error response from daemon: Your kernel does not support CPU real-time scheduler

There is no RT Kernel in Ubuntu. Instead I have installed the low latency kernel.
Ubuntu is stating about the low latency kernel the following:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/RealTimeKernel

and also these series:

Basically they’re saying that the low latency kernel is almost as good as the real time kernel.
So, does this mean that I might simply ignore the requirements for RT and go with low latency?

Or maybe someone knows a simple way to install a RT kernel in Ubuntu?

Thanks

I am getting this error with the same setup on Ubuntu 22.04 and would like to solve it as well.

You could try to install in the host machine Ubuntu RT and later install docker + ubuntu image
