Build 1388 Memory Leak causes server to crash.

Server ends using full VMs memory. The server crashes with the endpoint reporting issues with the connection. After a few minutes the memory usage is back at ~400mb and the client is connected again. Starting play within 9 minutes the memory usage is back at high levels and the crash repeats. Increased available memory to 6gb and then the crash occurs within 20 mins.

Issue seems to have resolved itself after allocating an excessive amount of memory to the VM. Peaked at ~6.4gb.

Just a fellow user.

How many tracks are in your library?

I also notice a CPU use of 8%, was Roon undertaking an initial background analysis of your library?

I normally run Roon on DietPi. Under normal use with a track count of 70k, after analysis, I sit at 2.5gb ram used of 16gb, CPU at 0.5 to 1.0% on each 4 cores. I can upscale to DSD with little impact also.

I haven’t seen a memory leak issue personally with 1388.

My thoughts are you gave your VM instance a bit too little RAM. Try 16gb.

Hi @Braden_Chapman,

Roonlabs do not support running Roon within a VM so I’m moved you post to Tinkering where you will get the best community advice.

If you able to reproduce with Roon running outside of a VM in a native OS then Roon’s @supprt team will investigate.
