By default docker uses a shm size of 64m if not specified, but that can be increased in docker using --shm-size=256m
How should I increase shm size of a kuberenetes container or use --shm-size of docker in kuberenetes.
I originally bumped into this post coming from google and went through the whole kubernetes issue and openshift workaround. Only to find the much simpler solution listed on another stackoverflow answer later.
It's not possible to do this in a kubernetes pod. See this issue
There is a workaround from openshift mentioned in the comments, but it may not be ideal
