- title: Increasing Shared Memory Size
level: 2
content: |-
To prevent crashes from happening when running {{ app.friendly_name }}
inside a Docker container, the size of the shared memory located at `/dev/shm`
must be increased. The issue is documented [here].
By default, the size is 64MB, which is not enough. It is recommended to use a
size of 2GB. This value is arbitrary, but known to work well. Setting the
size of `/dev/shm` can be done via two method:
- By adding the `--shm-size 2g` parameter to the `docker run` command. See
the [Usage](#usage) section for more details.
- By using shared memory of the host, by mapping `/dev/shm` via the parameter
`-v /dev/shm:/dev/shm` of the `docker run` command.

If {{ app.friendly_name }} is crashing frequently, make sure that:
- The size of the shared memory located at `/dev/shm` has been increased. See
the [Increasing Shared Memory Size](#increasing-shared-memory-size) section
for more details.
- The `membarrier` system call is not blocked by Docker. See the

Set the size of `/dev/shm` to `VALUE`. The format of `VALUE` is
`<number><unit>`, where `number` must be greater than `0` and `unit`
can be `b` (bytes), `k` (kilobytes), `m` (megabytes), or `g`
(gigabytes). **NOTE**: To avoid crashes, it is recommended to set this
value to `2g`.
