Task stuck at "Retrieving package list"

[Cloud-Kid]

Hi again,

While trying to sync the RedHat appstream repo (Only this one) I have the following error :

Tested on multiple repomanager versions including the latest. I tried multiple times, waiting 4+ hours but I really think nothing is happening (Also minimal CPU usage is being used).

Let me know if you have any ideas.

Same as #119 (see my latest message). You task has reached php memory limit and the script exited.

In most case it should have printed an error message in the app but there is a bug where sometimes php doesn't even have enough memory to print the error itself. I just patched this bug today but I need more tests to release a new version.

For now you can stop the task (stop button) if not already done and dedicate more RAM to your docker instance. In the linked issue we saw that about 4GB+ were required to parse the huge packages list of Oracle Baseos and Appstream repo, I think this might be quite the same for RHEL Appstream. I know this is a lot but I don't know why the xml lib is consuming so much RAM.

Thanks for reporting.

Note: I just opened a discord channel here https://discord.gg/ge4Tu3Wk if you need quick help or ask questions (french or english spoken). In some case I think it can be easier to chat for quick debugging.

That's right indeed, I just increased the memory limit to 1024 and the task is running successfully. Thanks for the tip !

I'll check the discord soon !
