Modifying Default Container Configuration

This page explains how to adjust JVM memory settings and provide additional startup flags for Stardog containers.

Configuring Memory Settings

If needed, you can change the default JVM memory settings for Stardog by setting the STARDOG_SERVER_JAVA_ARGS environment variable like so:

docker run -v ~/stardog-home/:/var/opt/stardog -p 5820:5820 \
 -e STARDOG_SERVER_JAVA_ARGS="-Xmx8g -Xms8g -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=12g" stardog/stardog

Configuring memory settings is discussed in greater detail in the Memory Usage section. It’s noted here for your reference if you are running Stardog via Docker.

Providing Options to the Server at Startup Time

As mentioned earlier, the server start command gets invoked when executing docker run. Often times, you may need to provide additional options to the server at startup time like enabling Stardog to accept SSL connections.

These additional options can be appended to the end of the docker run command like so:

docker run -it -v ~/stardog-home/:/var/opt/stardog -p 5820:5820 stardog/stardog --enable-ssl

For more on running Stardog over SSL within a Docker container, see this page.
