Hi,
I have been using ERPNext for last 2 years on a VPS with 3GB ram. Whereas initially the requirement was okay but progressively with updates, we are finding that the requirement of RAM has been increasing and with version 8 the system is crashing very often due to mysql crashes. I have collected some RAM utilization data after the reboot. Being a Saturday, the load on the server is low, but the memory utilization is increasing every minute (Memory Leaks?
)
No, have not been able to figure out a proper solution to the problem. Currently I have a cron job to restart the service every hour. Although not a very neat or a permanent solution but seems to reduce the problem a bit as we still start facing problem after few minutes of restart. Also the problem seem to keep increasing with new releases.
I eventually decided to jump ship! I setup a fresh server with Ubuntu 16.04 and then migrated my sites using backup/restore
If it’s an option for you, I would totally recommend it unless of course if your usage has exceeded your current capacity in which case you might just need more Ram. Performance is a lot better now
It’s a droplet (actually an instance on aws). It’s pretty much identical to what I had originally. I however observed that the issue became much worse after I upgraded the OS on my old server to Ubuntu 16.04 (from 14.04)
That’s why I eventually decided to try a fresh instance and it worked out fine. It’s much better than it was even before I upgraded to 16.04 (on the old server)
