Resource limits in a compose file are not applying

{% hint style="info" %} Affected versions: 2.14.0, 2.14.1, 2.14.2

Fixed in: 2.15.0 and above {% endhint %}

Issue Description

When using a compose file to apply resource limits on a Docker Standalone environment, some values (such as cpus and cpu_percent) are not applying:

version: "2" 

services: 
  mynginx: 
    container_name: mynginx
    image: nginx:latest
    cpus: 1
    cpu_percent: 50

Cause

This issue is the result of a bug in the version of the docker compose v2 plugin that is used in version 2.14 of Portainer.

Fix

Update Portainer to 2.15.0 or above.

Workaround

You can manually apply limits on a per-container basis after deployment through the Portainer UI.
