dev: Limit devcontainer memory usage to 8GB (#1604)

olix0r · web-flow · commit a7bcfb26ab91 · 2022-04-11T14:24:35.000-07:00
Devconatiner memory usage is currently unbounded. This allows runaway
processes (like rust-analyzer) to monopolize system resources, causing
memory exhaustion for the host OS.

This change adds a limit so that the oomkiller reaps devcontainer
processes when they exceed 8GB.
