Layer5 Repo Build Crashes During Development Bundle Compilation on Linux

Community

I’m currently trying to run the Layer5 repository locally, but my Linux system becomes unstable during the build process.

Environment

  • OS: Ubuntu Linux
  • RAM: 16GB
  • Project: Layer5
  • Node.js: v20.18.3
  • npm: v10.8.2

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the repository

cd ~/Workspace/Layer5
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/KhushamBansal/layer5

2. Navigate to the repository

cd layer5

3. Use the required Node.js version

nvm use 20.18.3

4. Install dependencies

make setup

5. Start the lightweight build

make site

What Happens

The build starts successfully and progresses through Gatsby initialization and page generation.

The build continues successfully through several stages:

success source and transform nodes - 4.835s
success createPages - 1.147s
success extract queries from components - 8.927s
success Running gatsby-plugin-sharp.IMAGE_PROCESSING jobs - 7.425s

Eventually, during development bundle compilation:

⠏ Building development bundle
Unknown type: 11379

Node.js then crashes with a fatal V8 runtime error:

#
# Fatal error in , line 0
# unreachable code
#

This is followed by a long V8 stack trace related to garbage collection and memory allocation.

The build finally exits with:

make: *** [Makefile:26: site] Error 1

Make sure that you read the contributing.md, which has instructions about how to only build portions of the site not the full site.

Instead of using the live hot reloader with make site, I recommend using the site with a static build, which is currently faster:

  1. Run make build once all pages are generated.
  2. Run gatsby serve.
