Docker bootstrap failing with exit 137

Installation

Hello,

I’ve been trying to install Discourse inside an Ubuntu Precise VM (running on VirtualBox) using these instructions. The process fails while running ./launcher bootstrap app with the following output:

/pups/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:85:in `spawn': cd /var/www/discourse && sudo -E -u discourse bundle install --deployment --verbose --without test --without development failed with return #<Process::Status: pid 257 exit 137> (RuntimeError)

FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP

What could I be doing wrong? Is there any more information about my environment that I can give you to help you diagnose this issue?

EDIT: is there something that’s very specific to DigitalOcean in these instructions?

EDIT 2: I just tried the “advanced” guide, with the same result.

Thanks.

How much memory have you given your VM? It sounds like you’re running out of memory.

That did the trick. Thanks!

Ooh, didn’t know that exit code 137 meant the process was KILLed (here, by the oom-killer)! Learn something new :smiley:
