Out of Memory Error during aws elastic beanstalk docker deployment

Question

I try to create an environment on elastic beanstalk with Docker image. But Docker image takes so much memory for deployment. Is there a way to reduce it?

It works with "t2.medium" but this is so big for a node project. Can I handle it via "t2.micro"?

EB commands:

  export MY_APP=my-app-node
  export MY_ENV=my-environment-node
  eb init $MY_APP -r $AWS_DEFAULT_REGION -p "Docker"
  eb create $MY_ENV --single --instance-types t2.medium --envvars key1=val1 || echo "environment is already created."
  eb deploy $MY_ENV -l v-${BUILD_NUM}

Dockerfile is:

FROM node:alpine
COPY package.json ./
RUN npm set progress=false && npm config set depth 0 && npm cache clean --force

## Storing node modules on a separate layer will prevent unnecessary npm installs at each build
RUN npm i && mkdir /ng-app && cp -R ./node_modules ./ng-app

WORKDIR /ng-app

COPY . .

## Build the angular app in production mode and store the artifacts in dist folder
RUN npm run config --configuration production && $(npm bin)/ng build --configuration production

FROM nginx:latest

## Copy our default nginx config
COPY nginx/default.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/

## Remove default nginx website
RUN rm -rf /usr/share/nginx/html/*

EXPOSE 80

COPY --from=0 /ng-app/dist/demo-ng /usr/share/nginx/html

CMD ["nginx", "-g", "daemon off;"]

docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3.8'
services:
  web:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: Dockerfile
    ports:
      - "80:80"

Looks like you Docker image does not enough memory allocated:

In the ElasticBeanstalk application environment Dockerrun.aws.json, you can increase the memory allocation ("memory": 80 to e.g. "memory": 100):

"containerDefinitions": [
  {
  "name": "request_repeater",
  "image": "my/image",
  "essential": true,
  "memory": 80, <- change this

Also, maybe you need to change the instance type. For example the t2.nano has a max memory of 0.5 GB

You can do this in Modify capacity settings when you are creating your application, or edit in Configuration > Capacity setting on the current env configuration.
