I have problems deploying my react app, can someone pls help me

[cloud sun]

what are the specs on your vps?

[tired warren]

i use railway.app so i do not know

[cloud sun]

"scripts": {
"start": "react-scripts --max_old_space_size=4096 start",
"build": "react-scripts --max_old_space_size=4096 build",
"test": "react-scripts test",
"eject": "react-scripts eject"
}

adjust your scripts for whatever memory is available to you

[tired warren]

i added this

i now get this error

The build failed because the process exited too early. This probably means the system ran out of memory or someone called kill -9 on the process.
npm WARN config production Use --omit=dev instead.

[cloud sun]

you set way too much memory lol

adjust it to your environment

[tired warren]

how do i know how much memory i need hahaha, sorry this is the first time im deploying something

[cloud sun]

idk railway app so idk but try smaller and work your way up

you could try googling how much RAM they make available to you

[cloud sun]

set it to like 400MB

maybe 300mb idk

depends on if your system resource usage counts or not

[tired warren]

im going to try this

hopefully it works

[cloud sun]

soo?

[tired warren]

yeah same error

[cloud sun]

what did yoou set the size to? 300?

[tired warren]

yeah 30

0

[tired warren]

i did that using the enviroment variables like you you see in this image

[cloud sun]

try putting it in your package json at like 225

idk

512MB isnt much if theyre counting system resources

[tired warren]

so you say, if i use this one

it will work

[cloud sun]

shouldnt need to lol

should work on 512mb will just be slow

[tired warren]

ow

i really do not understand the problem of this thing pfff

[tired warren]

can someone else pls help if possible

[lusty spoke]

out of memory

[tired warren]

how do i use less memory

like i said, this is just a simple landing page

[safe finch]

Problem is not necessarily your code, it's the framework and dependencies being pulled in. If you're using boilerplate code for the app and you don't have unnecessary dependencies then you just need to make your environment bigger.

To start with, the memory spec of --max-old-space-size=4096 was 4GB, since this parameter is in megabytes, not bytes. So if you only have 512mb of ram you cannot expect to support a heap size beyond 384mb considering you need the actual VM to function.

If you have adjusted your memory and you still crash then you clearly need a bigger VM to operate within. And then adjust your heap size accordingly.

[tired warren]

does that mean if i use this one it should work?

[safe finch]

Try using smaller environment with lower heap size (384) and if it still fails to start then, yeah it probably just has too many dependencies or the webpack stage just needs more than that.

In which case 8gb should be plenty.

But set heap size accordingly!

[tired warren]

yeah already tried that didnt work

[cloud sun]

did you try with 256 or lower?

[tired warren]

yes

i tried 256

but i didnt go lower

just checked

i did go lower

i tried 200 en 256

both didnt work

[cloud sun]

can you show the metrics tab?

[tired warren]

here you go

[cloud sun]

can you control what os its running on/do you know what it is?

[tired warren]

i do not know where i can find that information

[lusty spoke]

try alpine linux it uses less ram

otherwise try a php app 😄

[safe finch]

Have no idea about railway, I would just use lightsail on aws for something simple - or just deploy a t2-micro instance on EC2

[lusty spoke]

godaddy is cheap also but php normally
