JVM memory increase

How to increase the JVM memory for Ant Media Server?

[Mohit-3196]

Hello,
By default, the JVM memory is 1/4th of the total memory.

To increase JVM memory, you need to edit and add below property under /etc/systemd/system/antmedia.service file.

Environment=JVM_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-Xmx4g (This is for 4GB JVM memory. Please change the value as per your requirement)

After saving the file, run below commands

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl antmedia restart

Hi,
I have installed the antmedia on docker and there was no antmedia.service file in the mentioned location.
How can i increase the heap memory now.?

Hi @mann9211

I apologize for the late response. I needed to make some changes to set the -Xms and -Xmx sizes in the Dockerfile and start.sh file.

These changes will be included in the next release, but you can run it with some modifications.

1. Download the Ant Media Server zip file and place the new start.sh file inside it, then compress it again into a zip file.

2. Adjust the -Xms and -Xmx sizes in the provided Dockerfile (Don't forget to uncomment ENV line), then rebuild the Docker image using docker build. It will start running with the values you specified.
