OutOfMemoryError when starting Server

Open Source Routing Engine
#1

I am trying to set up Graphhopper following the Quickstart Guide on GitHub. When trying to launch the application using the germany-latest.osm.pbf, I get an OutOfMemoryError after some time.

~/apps/graphhopper$java -jar *.jar jetty.resourcebase=webapp config=config-example.properties osmreader.osm=germany-latest.osm.pbf

I only have 1gb of RAM on the Server. So now my question: Is increasing the RAM on the server the only way to set up Graphhopper with the German map or is there a different way of doing it?

Thanks for your help!

The Stacktrace tells me that you only have 15mb of RAM. 1GB should be enough for Germany (if I remember correctly). You could try with a Subregion of Germany.

#3

Hm yes you’re right. But not really sure how to read/interpret that correctly. It seems like the java app allocates that amount of RAM. Is there a way to manually increase that?

#4

By default a lot more RAM should be assigned to the JVM. Increase this e.g. via
export JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx500m -Xms500m"
before calling the graphhopper.sh script or in your case do
java -Xmx500m -Xms500m ...

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried your suggestion and it increased the assigned RAM, but after some time I got the same error. I am trying to extract the germany-latest.osm.pbf, which is about 2.6gb big. Do you think my overall RAM is insufficient for this kind of map?

with default config (CH enabled) you’ll probably need ~2500mb for the import and 1500mb for running it (at least that were the numbers I have in mind for DE when I tried it the last time). But just try yourself :slight_smile:
BTW: are you running a 64bit system?

I ended up increasing the RAM of the server. 3000mb was sufficient for the German map.
Thanks for the help!
