Possible Mistake in Host System Requirements for Self-Host

[yousefmarey12]

Hello,

So my device is 8 GB of RAM and more than 4 CPU cores. On the docs, it states min 4 GB RAM for building images, and I need to build images. However, I receive an error code of 139 when I build a docker image. This is just an out of memory error, which is likely due to insufficient RAM. When I did more research from a tutorial, it said that running docker images requires 16 GB or RAM instead of 4 GB. I came to the conclusion that I have to extend my RAM after through research in order to run a self-hosting instance of this repo.

Could the maintainers or anyone confirm that one can run a self-hosted instance on less than 16 GB of RAM? Otherwise, I propose for the 4 GB minimum requirement to be changed to 16 GB."

Thanks

Hey there, the tutorial you’re referring to is outdated. Kiran originally crafted those instructions for the initial version of setting up a self-hosted instance via Docker Compose. The system requirements mentioned in the official documentation are based on the current self-hosting setup for Hoppscotch.
