Using overcommit_memory = 2 crashes a Postgres container

I have a device that has Debian 11 installed, on which Docker is running.  On boot, it starts the Docker Daemon and the nine containers.  Eight of them are executing a C# program and the last one is a Postgres one. If I add vm.overcommit_memory = 2 to /etc/sysctl.conf and reboot the device, only the Postgres container starts. After, I did these steps: - docker-compose down - Set vm.overcommit_memory = 2 - reboot - docker-compose up -d Now, the first container, the Postgres one, fails to start with this error: >ERROR: for StargatePostgres Cannot start service postgres: 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 running hook #0: error running hook: exit status 2, stdout: , stderr: fatal error: out of memory allocating heap arena map There is enough memory, that's for sure:
