IntelliJ IDEA not starting: Initial heap size set to a larger value than the maximum heap size

IntelliJ IDEA didn't want to start this morning. Got the following error when trying to start it from a shell: Error occurred during initialization of VM Initial heap size set to a larger value than the maximum heap size What happened is that IntelliJ IDEA loaded the JVM Options from the new custom vmoptions file in the config directory. On Windows: %APPDATA%\Roaming\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2020.1\idea64.exe.vmoptions On macOs: ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2020.1/idea.vmoptions This file was not updated properly when I updated IntellIJ IDEA. It contained: -Xms4g -Xmx2048m Fixed the issue by editing this file: -Xms4g -Xmx4g Source: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360004701620-idea-vmoptions-not-used-by-default

Accessing a Docker container running in a Docker-Machine on localhost

On Linux you can access your running Docker container on localhost or remotely by publishing the desired port. On macOS it will only give you access to the Docker container from the Docker-Machine it is running on, i.e. from docker-machine ip <machine_name> . To access it on localhost, you can use ssh port forwarding: docker-machine ssh <machine_name> -fNTL <local_port> :localhost:<machine_port> You can now access your Docker container on localhost:<local_port> . Bonus: Accessing your Docker container from a remote computer. By default, with ssh -L , the local port is bound for local use only. You can use the bind _address option to make your Docker container available publicly: docker-machine ssh <machine_name> -fNTL \*:<local_port>:<localhost>:<machine_port> You can now access your Docker container on <your_ip>:<local_port> .
