OutOfMemoryError on Pi4 Docker OH 2.5.12 setup

Setup, Configuration and Use Runtime
1

I just recently switched OH from a sorted out Windows laptop to a Raspberry Pi 4 using the default docker image for OH 2.5.12. Unfortunately, now on the 3rd day I get an OutOfMemoryError

  • Platform information:
    • Hardware: Raspberri Pi 4
    • OS: Raspbian
    • Java Runtime Environment: Docker Hub 2.5.12
    • openHAB version: 2.5.12

In the same time the java-process now takes 100% CPU and 11% Memory (of 4GB). OH doesn’t react in this moment anymore and I have to restart the container.

That is not usually a recommended configuration on a Pi due to its limited resources. It may work with a 4GB Pi though.

Many people install openHABian on a Pi. It is a variant od Raspbian with just the needed parts for OH in it.

3

It is 4 GB, as also mentioned only 11% of memory are actually used by openhab, most is still free.

One of your bindings has a memory leak. You’ll probably have to use the process of elimination to figure out which one it is. But even once you do, that error won’t be fixed in 2.5 so you’ll have to find and manually install an older version of that binding that doesn’t have the memory leak or upgrade to OH 3.

Thanks for the info. I’m anyway currently in the process of migrating to OH3, but good to know :slight_smile:

6

Which is probably wrong information as I have rarely seen OH use that little mem (and at the same time hit some limit ? Nah.)

You better move over to openHABian, unlike your setup it’s memory optimized and proven.
