Docker build from Dockerfile with more memory

Question

How to docker build from Dockerfile with more memory?

This is a different question from this Allow more memory when docker build a Dockerfi

Answer 1

It is not something about order. The Dockerfile must be specified with -f

docker build -f Dockerfile.cpu -t ibot-cpu -m 4g .

As you can see in the help.

However, take into account that by default docker does not limit the container memory. It can take the whole free memory.

As I can see that you are on OSX, which runs docker over a Linux VM. Configure the max memory clicking the whale icon in the task bar. By default is 2G.
