Running out of space installing `@ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg`

weavermedia · November 19, 2016, 11:48pm

Trying to add @ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg as a dependency but I’m running out of space with just these:

"dependencies": {
  "express": "^4.12.4",
  "@ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg": "^1.0.0"
}

From the logs it looks like it’s skipping the optional dependencies of other OS and archs and just trying to install the 50MB linux-x64 binary but I’m still getting a no space left on device error:

I’ve read that each space is limited to 128MB so why is this install failing? Is there anything I can do to get it to install successfully?

Hi weavermedia,

I just tried to install it on a fresh container and it worked fine… perhaps you have other things installed? Would you mind sending the link of your project?

weavermedia · November 21, 2016, 6:46pm

Thanks @etamponi - it installed on a fresh container for me too

I had attempted to install a couple of other versions prior to this and they must have still been cached in the container.

I’ll try the obvious before I jump to the forum next time

etamponi · November 21, 2016, 7:25pm

Thanks to you!

Upon install, we try to clean up old dependencies, and you discovered that we leave some around

We’ll ship the fix today or tomorrow

Hi Joshua,

unfortunately in your case the problem is that the unpacked dependencies take too much space in node_modules, it’s not a caching issue… and so it can only be solved by increasing your disk space

We will evaluate case by case, but we cannot give you an ETA on when/if we will expand your disk space. However, we are exploring solutions to solve this problem without needing additional space for dependencies.

In the meantime, please take a look at your package.json to see if there is some dependency that you can remove

JoshuaMorris · January 18, 2017, 4:11pm

I removed unused packages and the packages I was attempting to install when i noticed the error. I’m still getting the error.

etamponi · January 18, 2017, 4:12pm

We should be able to provide a quick fix soon

etamponi · January 20, 2017, 3:38pm

Hi Joshua,

can you give it a spin again? We switched filesystems on the containers, and now you should be able to run npm install

JoshuaMorris · January 20, 2017, 4:05pm

I really appreciate your help resolving the issue. I can install packages again.
