Oh that’s not a problem to let a container get killed. It’s perfectly fine. What I want is just not crippling my whole server because one container did a funny.
If it keeps docker and the portainer VM I’ll be 100% ok, because I can just restart it. I don’t want to have remote access to my server outside of my home for security reasons, so this is just the bare minimum
Alright, sorry for calling it a “bandaid fix”. It wasn’t just the right term for what I wanted to say. I was more referring on how it would only fix issues in cases of builds, and not on actual runtime, which can also be an issue if I am not careful. So yeah, it’s the fix for the issue in the post, but this solution made me realise that this isn’t the only thing I want.
But the second part is… Just chill. It’s a home server. Not a high availability cluster. I can afford stupid things. Heck, I’m only asking this question because I got stupid and haven’t limited the job count of a cargo build, downing my server. I don’t care that my build crash. I just want to not have to manually restart it, because when I’m not here I can’t do it.
As for the link that you sent, it’s container limitations, not image building limitations. And I already have setup some on my most hungry container, stats shown that it blew past it, so idk what’s going on there.
Edit: NVM. This is a bandaid fix. What if you forgot to put the flag? Like it’s been 5 month since last time and forgot to do the same fix? Or you accidentally removed it while editing the command? I’m actually looking for a solution that fixed my problem fully, not a partial solution
Fair enough. But I don’t want a bandaid fix solution. Even more that I do all my docker through portainer and the option isn’t there.
It could also be useful if a container got a memory leak and is unbounded
There’s a difference between helping people with misunderstanding a tool and belittling them for being wrong. It’s just a matter of wording that separate an helpful answer from a toxic one
I could tell you “You should actually use Y instead of X. They are numerous benefits like A, B and C. The doc actually have a great example you may have missed or not understood it was for this purpose. It will help you a lot more than what you are thinking of doing.” And this would be fine.
But “Just use Y. X is bad because Y is made for that. You not willing to use Y shouldn’t make you do X. There’s even a the first Google link on how to do it” isn’t fine.
And I have not belittled them at all. I have said that it wasn’t what I was looking for. A lot of times people post questions they think should solve their issue, but only to realise that they didn’t fully understand the full picture and theirs problem is on a larger scale.
