Hi everyone, I’m having trouble updating my Discourse forum through the admin panel, and I could use some help figuring out what’s going wrong. When I try to update, I get an error message, and it stops the whole process. Here’s what’s happening: I’m using the Update Discourse from admin panel to do the update. When updating Discourse from admin panel False False False is displayed numerous times then an error saying updating discourse failed with this error. false - ./node_modules/.bin - /var/www/discourse/node_modules/.bin -

Memory: 67 GB total, with 61 GB free (so I don’t think it’s a memory issue). System load: 1.15, 0.42, 0.16 . Using Node.js version 22.14.0. I asked Grok what might be the problem: From what I’ve read, it could be something about too many processes trying to write to the console at once, causing a jam. Updating Discourser from SSH ./launcher works normally. I haven’t tried much to fix it yet because I’m not sure where to start. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks for any help!

[תמונה] Brian: Error: assets/chunk.cbb4d6362a2090db10ec.d41d8cd9.js from Terser plugin failed to handle: failed printing to stdout: Resource temporarily unavailable (os error 11) Could be a shortage of virtual memory: try adding RAM or adding swap. (Fork failing with EAGAIN can be memory shortage) Have a look at free -h vmstat 5 5 There are two kernel tunables which can improve memory efficiency cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory cat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled (See MKJ’s Opinionated Discourse Deployment Configuration)

@Ed_S thank you. I have 61 GB of RAM available out of 67. Could it still be virtual memory?

That’s a lot, but vmstat and free can tell us how it’s used. Have you checked dmesg output for messages about memory and OOM? How big is your database?

Sorry for the delayed response. The issue seemed to go away without understanding why. I think it was/is a plugin because I disabled them all and the site updated normally for admin panel. I expected the issue to return when re-enabled the plugins, but it did not. I will need to check again if it returns. Thanks for the assistance.
