Describe the issue

Starting docker container with version 2.3.2 causes immediate container shutdown. Running on a raspberry pi 4 2Gb model.

docker log shows java oom (out of memory) error.

-- LOG --
# Fatal javascript OOM in GC during deserialization

-- DockerCompose.yml --

version: "3.7"
services:
  audiobookshelf:
    restart: unless-stopped
    user: 1000:1000
    image: ghcr.io/advplyr/audiobookshelf:2.3.2
    network_mode: "bridge"
    ports:
      - 13378:80
    volumes:

      - /run/media/corym/myhdd/abs/metadata:/metadata

        limits:
          memory: 1536M
        reservations:
          memory: 256M
      restart_policy:
        condition: on-failure
        delay: 5s
        max_attempts: 2
        window: 120s

adding

    environment:
      - NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=1024

fixes the issue. It seems to override the environment variable set inside Dockerfile in 2.3.2
also using docker run -e "NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=1024" -p 13378:80 docker_audiobookshelf_1

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. COMPOSE_HTTP_TIMEOUT=120 docker-compose -f audiobookshelf.yml up -d
  2. docker container crashes

Audiobookshelf version

v2.3.2

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Not sure if this is related, but had similar issue just running on LXC container.

Container had 512Mb ram, 256Mb swap, was working fine on v2.2.23, upgraded directly to v2.3.2, abs started to get killed, since the container was runing out of memory. Increased max memory to 2G, everything started up as expected, with an interesting memory usage patern: 1.3Gb RAM usage for the first ~10 seconds, then falls back to ~400Mb and climbs to ~900Mb over couple of hours and keeps stable then. I understand, that absolute memory usage may depend on library size.

I am also getting a similar issue and also add the the '--max-old-space-size=1024 ' flag which helped alleviate the issue for a bit . But my container still crashed if re-scan the library or try and scan a particularity large RSS feed if the swap memory is full .

@satiku Those logs are from 2.3.1. The latest version is 2.3.3 where I improved performance. If you want to try the :edge docker image I removed that --max-old-space-size from the Dockerfile.

@satiku commented on GitHub (Jul 23, 2023):

@advplyr thank you for the quick reply I had not realized there had been 2 minor releases since I first encounter the issue. I am now running 2.3.3 and the container is defiantly more stable but I am still running into some minor issues. When I try and add the rss feed for the " stuff you should know" podcast . The container uses up a good chuck of memory and does not add the rss link to the podcast. I have noted the link below . For now this is not terrible since I still have most of episodes from when I was running the previous release and adding the rss link no longer crashes the container permanently , it does cause the container to restart sometimes .

@satiku Can you share the crash log? I just tested and not able to reproduce that
