Intellij and docker on vm memory issues - eviltoast

I’m trying to run a development project on a vm, my vm has Debian 12 and has 8gb ram and I’m running 2 intellij projects + mysql in docker and my vm freezes completely ti the point I need to reset my pc. Anyone has suggestions how to avoid tha without increasing memory? I feel like that a small project like that should hold 8 gb memory

    Are you running the project on an OS in the VM? Because the 8GB assigned to the VM will be used by the OS and anything else running in it?
