I think the issue is due to backend scripts because same error occurs on running npx nx start twenty-server command but I don't know how I can resolve this.

Hello, please try allowing more memory to node using https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56982005/where-do-i-set-node-options-max-old-space-size-2048

#

Please also refer to official docs https://twenty.com/developers/section/self-hosting/troubleshooting#while-running-,[object-object],-or-,[object-object],,-out-of-memory-error-is-thrown

Hey @olive anchor , how much memory should I allow? 6gb?

feral nexus Jun 12, 2025, 5:48 AM

#

And also, Could you please tell me how much memory is minimum required to run the setup?

#

So that I can know whether it is possible for me to run it or not.

Hey please refer to system requirements here https://twenty.com/developers/section/self-hosting/docker-compose#system-requirements

feral nexus Hey <@228859598004682753> , how much memory should I allow? 6gb?

Depends on available RAM on your machine, but you could give a try to 8GB

NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192

olive anchor Hey please refer to system requirements here https://twenty.com/developers/secti...

Here it says min 2GB is required but it's crashing on wsl in 6 gb ram

olive anchor Jun 12, 2025, 8:46 AM

#

Mhm my bad forwarded you the self hosting system requirements

#

Dev env is way more consuming than the live built app

feral nexus Jun 12, 2025, 10:20 AM

#

oh

#

so, it isn't written anywhere?

feral nexus Jun 12, 2025, 4:55 PM

#

I have 16 gb ram and wsl is using half of it currently.

feral nexus Jun 18, 2025, 2:02 PM

#

@olive anchor , any guess on how much memory should be enough for the dev environment ?

olive anchor Jun 18, 2025, 2:02 PM

#

16Bg should way enough
