I have installed openrouteservice in a docker container on ubuntu26.04 with 32GB RAM. The size of my pbf file is 9,5GB. I build only one profile (driving-car) without elevation, memory mapping is turned on. During the build process the container needs more than 32GB and crashes.
I can’t find an error message in the log file.
Here is the output of the logfile:
