I have a container running on K8s with an automation API application. The application uses

npm install

in a

Setup

func on the

GitRepo

setup like adviced here: https://pulumi-community.slack.com/archives/C019YSXN04B/p1600959484002700?thread_ts=1600959097.002500&cid=C019YSXN04B The app is running using a sub-image of

pulumi/pulumi-nodejs:2.11.2

. But when executing this, the

npm install

bails out. When trying this manually via an attached terminal, the

npm install

seems to hang around 75%. Package being installed at that moment was

grcp-js

, but not sure if it is related to that. Eventually, the process is killed. sigh

This does not sound like an Automation API specific issue. A couple of general suggestions that might help: 1. Try bumping the resources allocated to the VM. How much RAM have you allocated? Try doubling perhaps? 2. If (1) isn't possible, you could build docker images with the node projects already cloned and installed in the image and instead use

LocalSource

variants of automation API.

@lemon-agent-27707 nr 1 solved it. By accident, I gave the container only 100M of RAM. While that was ok for another container, it clearly wasn’t for this one. 🙂
