I have an Ubuntu droplet on DigitalOcean running NGINX with a reverse proxy to two NodeJS apps which are running on different ports and are managed with PM2.
The issue I am seeing is:
The apps do some screenshotting using puppeteer and then offload the image to a cloud service. But I think when the image processing is done Node runs out of memory and I end up seeing this message:
-bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory
Then the droplet runs slowly and often crashes.
I have this command which I use to start the PM2 service:
pm2 start npm --name "Production" -- start
I have tried the following also but this has not worked. If I change the command order, I simply get error: unknown option--max_old_space_size'`:
pm2 start npm --name "Development" -- start --max-old-space-size=8192 --max-memory-restart 300M
I am running node v12.13.0 and Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
Could anyone gives any suggestions on how to solve this please, or at least debug and I can provide more detail?
Use node-args
—-node-args="max-old-space-size=6144"
