I've some trouble with hockypuck on OpenVZ debian.

I tried with 1 GB and it eats all RAM and process crashed without notice.

I tried with 4 GB and got the same.

I tried with 6 GB and got the same.

Now it's running with 8 GB and 4 cores it seems to work for a while.

But maybe something with openvz and hockypuck goes wrong.

Hi Robert,
It's a known issue that I've been trying to pinpoint. I believe the recon package (conflux) may be the source of the memory leaks. I've been able to reproduce it in GCE, but haven't resolved it yet.

Robert,
Several memory issues have since been fixed in Hockeypuck 2.0-b2. If possible, give it a try and see if your issues are resolved. If not, there's a heap profiler in 2.0 that we can enable to troubleshoot the problem.

Installation instructions are updated at https://hockeypuck.github.io/.
