Cannot run Fenics code with fine mesh (memory issue?)

General
4

I tried to use the suggestion given in the first link by using mumps as a liner solver

params = {'nonlinear_solver': 'newton',
          'newton_solver':
              {
                  'linear_solver': 'mumps',
              }
          }
solver.parameters.update( params )
solver.solve()

but it does not work.
I also tried this suggestion but I could not even install pyadjoint

$  sudo pip3 install git+https://github.com/dolfin-adjoint/pyadjoint.git

Also, using the latest Fenics version does not help either: docker run -ti -v $(pwd):/home/fenics/shared -w /home/fenics/shared/ --rm quay.io/fenicsproject/dev:latest gives, when running,
