Webpack Uglify plugin returns “Killed” on Ubuntu

Question

On my remote server (Ubuntu 14.04 x64), whenever I try to uglify my bundles, the process simply returns \"Killed\". When I don\'t uglify, it\'s just fine.

Has anyone ru

Answer 1

As @barbuza suggested, it was a memory issue. I too am using a Digital Ocean VPS that only has 512 MB of RAM (yes, I'm cheap). That's not enough for webpack's uglify plugin. Adding 2GB of swap space on the server solved the issue. I followed this article to set that up: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-14-04
