Habitat studio is loading service, but it doesn't run successfully

Habitat Help

Hello,

I am entering a fresh studio, doing a hab svc load core/mongodb, and it claims to have successfully loaded the service, but it has a state of down with no error in sight…

[2][default:/src:1]# hab svc load core/mongodb

hab-sup(AG): The core/mongodb service was successfully loaded

It seems to load the service, but the init hook never gets triggered. I’ve tried everything at this point. Studio with debug log shows nothing. I’ve reinstalled hab and docker, blitzed caches for both, and still nothing.

This is on Mac OS Mojave, Habitat version 0.66.0/20181019234118 and Docker for Mac 18.06.1-ce-mac73 (26764)

Hi Thomas! Thanks for posting on the forums!

First guess here would be that you may not have enough memory allocated to your Docker VM. Try setting Docker options environment variable to something like this, maybe:
HAB_DOCKER_OPTS="-m 4g"

(reference here: https://www.habitat.sh/docs/reference/)

If that doesn’t work, try peeking into your supervisor log by hitting sl in the Hab studio.

Hey Garrett, thanks for the reply.

I’ve set the memory to 4g but the result is still the same:
