Build fails during conda install step without error message

[fmaussion]

Hi! Everything is in the title - it started a couple of days ago and I can't build any documentation since then... I didn't change anything in our build process.

Thanks for your help!

conda failed with 247 exit code. There are more info about this at #4449 (comment)

Thanks a lot for the rapid answer!

Unfortunately there is not much I can do to reduce our memory consumption, as I have no control on how conda works. See #4432 for a similar discussion about the dependencies of our projects - which rely on many conda packages.

Note that I've been able to reduce the size of our build process on mybinder using pip instead of conda, but this would require much more flexibility on the ReadTheDocs side (similar to that of repo2docker).

Is there a way to ask for a bit more resources as a RTD gold user? (since very recently only ;)

Sorry to follow-up on this: I know you guys are making all this for free - and I'm thankful for this.

I just have no way to reduce the memory consumption of conda... Alternatively, I would be able to install our environment via pip, but I would need more control on the build process than available currently on RTD.

It seems that the only solution is to increase the memory limit. I would be willing to pay for such a service. Did you guys ever thought of a "premium" business model?

Hi @fmaussion!

We do not charge FOSS in our platform and we do not pretend them to pay for using Read the Docs service.

That said,

I would be willing to pay for such a service. Did you guys ever thought of a "premium" business model?

We do have a premium business model that it's our readthedocs.com platform. It's thought for companies and private repositories, though.

Thanks for the support. Appreciated!

I increased the memory for your project a little more and put your project in a special queue and triggered a new build.

Please let me know if that works.

First testing build, passed: https://readthedocs.org/projects/oggm/builds/8406103/ 🎉

I'm closing for now. Feel free to reopen or ask anything you need.

Thanks a lot, much appreciated!
