A workaround fix for running Redis on a THP-enabled host like a 2019 Mac Mini.
1.0K
Docker container build and supporting files, if any, for fixing the WARNING issue with Redis when executing on a host with THP support enabled.
WARNING you have Transparent Huge Pages (THP) support enabled in your kernel. This will create latency and memory usage issues with Redis. To fix this issue run the command 'echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled' as root, and add it to your /etc/rc.local in order to retain the setting after a reboot. Redis must be restarted after THP is disabled.
In your docker-compose.yml file, use this image and ensure it is run before any redis image.
