Metabase returns as killed

Question

Trying to run metabase in a server with 1 GB of RAM. I run below statement

java -jar metabase.jar

It returns below as

08-29 17:00:59 INFO metabase.util :: Loading Metabase...
Killed

I could not find any logs

Answer 1

It could be the Java runtime environment exhaust available memory and gets killed. You can try defining how much memory it should use by passing the -Xmx argument to the Java runtime environment:

Example:java -Xmx512m -jar metabase.jar

Answer 2

What other services are you running?

Potentially the answer could be “Buy more RAM” see http://discourse.metabase.com/t/metbase-killed/2924
