👋 I'm running into issues trying to install the rpm binary on an Oracle aarch64 vm running Oracle Linux. Is that to be expected?

The ARM binary is built on a Graviton instance. I wonder if the instruction set is not fully compatible with the ARM processor you are using.

Any ideas on how to resolve?

Does the ARM binary (tar gz) work? If so it might be a RPM issue.

Are you using huge pages?

This is what I get when I start it up -- I haven't added anything.

Copy code

[frank@vm ~]$ ./typesense-server --data-dir=$(pwd)/typesense-data --api-key=$TYPESENSE_API_KEY --enable-cors

Ok can you post the exact ARM CPU this machine is using?

I think your Linux distros page size is not 4K which is what jemalloc expects.

https://www.oracle.com/cloud/compute/arm/ Ampere Altra A1 Compute OCPU: 4 Memory: 24GB (this is Oracle's always free tier -- I was hoping it would be a good fit for a local typesense server)

$ getconf PAGE_SIZE

We use

jemalloc

and that only works well on

page size. That's the default page size on most Linux distributions but I just realized that CentOS, RedHat, or Oracle Linux, set the default page size to 64k. Is it possible to change that to 4K (not sure if that's determined at kernel compile time)?

The longer term fix is to use a larger page size on the ARM build since Jemalloc supports a smaller run-time page size than the one used in compile time: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/-/merge_requests/4800 Can you please create a Github issue so we can track this build improvement?
