My Vagrant docker VM is running out of memory. I tried the approach from [vagrantfile - Vagrant with Docker provider: specifying CPU and Memory - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47919339/vagrant-with-docker-provider-specifying-cpu-and-memory) which says to do “d.create\_args = [’–memory=6g’]” but it did not change the memory size when destroyed/re-upped. How do I increase the memory size of the VM with docker provider? ---
