Jitsi broken after Debian upgrade - Could not reserve enough space for 3145728KB object heap

Install & Config
#1

Hi,
I previously had a working installation of Jitsi-meet on my Debian 10 32-bit VPS with 1vCPU and 1GB of RAM. I performed a dist-upgrade the other day and installed the latest version of Jitsi-meet and now if you try to start a meet, it just says “Unfortunately, something went wrong”.
Looking into the logs I get:
jvb.log
OpenJDK Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release.
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 3145728KB object heap

Is anyone able to shed some light?
Thanks in advance

Procedure for Debian apt-get upgrade

First I would suspect RAM. Everything on one machine we recommend 8GB

Thanks for your response. That would confuse me as it had been working fine for weeks on 1GB of RAM before this update, any ideas?

Danyc0,
Did you find a resolution? I have the same issue and have 4GB of RAM. However, only about 500MB free of hard memory, but ~3.5GB free of virtual memory.

I’d like to know what has worked for people before I go order more RAM.

Update: I shutdown another machine and borrowed its memory. Now with 8GB and free -m showing 6756 of free memory, I still get the error of ‘Could not reserve enough space’.

PCL, did you find a resolution for your issue? I have 4GB of RAM, but the only available memory is virtual memory. I’d like to see how others resolved this before I decide to order Ram (not knowing if it might fix the issue).

Update: I shutdown another machine and borrowed its memory. Now with 8GB and free -m showing 6756 of free memory, I still get the error of ‘Could not reserve enough space’.

Hello!
Yes, very happily I have figured it out. For me it’s nothing to do with the amount of RAM installed, I have it working fine once again on 1GB of RAM. The issue for me was that Jitsi now seems to require a 64-bit machine with a 64-bit OS, whilst previously I had a 32-bit OS. Now I have rebuilt my server on 64-bits, it’s back to working as expected. I hope this helps others with this issue,
Cheers

I just experienced this issue on a 64-bit machine with latest Debian build and 32 gig RAM. Any ideas why this is happening?
