Excessive allocated memory

1

Hi,

I have an issue when deploying a basic cloud instance using:

  • 1 CPU
  • 1 GB of RAM
  • 10GB SSD
  • Rocky Linux 9
  • Followed all pre-requisites to deploy with docker.

When running the script to deploy using docker, it exits with an error:

Press <ENTER> to install or Ctrl-C to abort.

The container log says:

ll_alloc: Cannot allocate 1610612799 bytes of memory (of type "port_tab").

Why is it trying to allocate 1.5GB? Is there a workaround for this?

Hi there, thanks for the report. Strange — Is that coming from the firezone container?

Yup, I’ve just used the default script, hence:

image: firezone/firezone

There may some configuration issue causing the BEAM VM to try and allocate excessive memory. Could you summarize any configuration changes you made and your $HOME/.firezone/.env with any sensitive values redacted?

I haven’t edited the .env file. I can try and reproduce it again with a new instance.
