Error with elasticsearch in local mode, rlimits: operation not permitted

Site Operators Tutor Help

I was trying to trying to deploy Tutor in production container, and decided to try out the
precompiled-binary using tutor local launch, but it gives an rlimits error.

Steps taken:

  • Install openedx binary from releases
  • Run tutor local launch

Environment:

tutor, version 17.0.4
Docker Compose version v2.26.1
Docker version 26.1.0, build 9714adc
Linux domain-dev 5.15.136-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.15.136-1 (2024-01-23T11:10Z) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

tutor local launch error:

Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: error setting rlimits for ready process: error setting rlimit type 8:
operation not permitted: unknown
Error: Command failed with status 1: docker compose -f /home/edx/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.yml -f /home/edx/.local/share/tutor/env/local/docker-compose.prod.yml --project-name tutor_local up --remove-orphans -d

I found a similar issue in github, and changed the local
docker-compose.yml file to remove the ulimits, and tried to build again but this time it gives a different
error (not sure if related to this).

tutor images build all error:

What I have tried:

  • Removing the ulimits section
  • Setting the ulimits to memlock: soft: 0 hard: 0 in all relevant containers.
  • Giving the elastic-search container priviliged access.
  • Increasing the nofile using ulimits command.
