Contributing: astro dev - out of memory

[hsjobeki]

Following the getting started instructions from the readme seemed obivous.

To run local development instance follow this steps to start a local server

    $ git clone git@github.com:NixOS/nixos-homepage.git
    $ cd nixos-homepage
    $ nix-shell
    [nix-shell]$ npm install
    [nix-shell]$ npm run dev

It seemed to work. Astro prints the local url and port, where the site should be available:

 astro  v4.11.0 ready in 512 ms

┃ Local    http://localhost:4321/
┃ Network  use --host to expose

Visiting the site; after ~2 minutes of nothing rednering in the browser. My bash console prints this error.

This is odd, never experienced this before. Could you specify which system you are running this on?

A possible fix i now figured out: export NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=8192
