Hi! I am trying to install Discourse to a minimal server 2vCPU / 1GB / 40GB (I don’t anticipate it will have much use, and cutting my costs) I have been able to install Discourse previously on such an instance, but today I am getting these errors - I have searched the forum but haven’t seen anyone else report it FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory ... ** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one. I ran discourse-doctor as recommended by the script; it detected discourse was not running so started a rebuild, but the result is the same FAILED -------------------- Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake themes:update assets:precompile' failed with return # Location of failure: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/pups-1.1.1/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:117:in `spawn' exec failed with the params {"cd"=>"$home", "hook"=>"assets_precompile", "cmd"=>["su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake themes:update assets:precompile'"]} 553da25c117d42161ef95845c6876a32810feaa4b5e651ac8118981884933982 ** FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP ** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one. ./discourse-doctor may help diagnose the problem. ==================== END REBUILD LOG ==================== Failed to rebuild app.

Could you share the specs of your server? How much RAM / swap do you have?

My latest rebuild also failed with a 1GB digital ocean droplet. I think I need to temporarily(?) resize to 2GB, but I’ve ./launcher restart app and restarted the pre-rebuild version while I mull it over. Not sure if that’s any help? root@test:/var/discourse# free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 976Mi 753Mi 80Mi 29Mi 142Mi 64Mi Swap: 2.0Gi 131Mi 1.9Gi

We’re going to temporarily revert our new Ember CLI build pipeline so we can debug things in lower memory environments.

I’ve edited the title to reflect this issue.

I am using a gCloud e2-micro instance (Micro machine type with 0.25 vCPU and 1 GB of memory, backed by a shared physical core) edit: If someone is curious why in the world I would do this, I get more traffic from crawlers than users, and we’re trying to provide more points of contact for families and survivors of pediatric stroke. Nobody notices it being a little slow on first load or saving, and so the value delivered on free-tier Google Cloud is helpful.

This change is now reverted while we investigate further. Thanks everyone for the reports! https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/e92f57255de429fcf12c4259235d88c5485d934f

Please try another rebuild, it should work much better now
