RangeError: WebAssembly.instantiate(): Out of memory: Cannot allocate Wasm memory for new instance
Hello, when trying to run my server "node .output/server.index.mjs" on my shared vps, I got the WebAssembly.instantiate() out of memory error. I checked in cPanel, and I was only using up 200mb of the 1gb allocated to me. my app in node processes also only takes up ~200mb of ram.
Checking around the internet, I found other people with the similar WebAssembly.instantiate issue on the server. I couldn't figure out why I am getting it and how to resolve it. my server isn't using any ram. I am wondering if there is anyone here who has come accross this particular issue with cPanel.
Some sources said that cPanel caused this problem, but ssh didn't. Due to security, my provider doesn't allow ssh.

Hi @Thick Black W. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not contain specific information about the "WebAssembly.instantiate(): Out of memory" error when running a Nuxt server, nor do they provide a direct solution for this issue. There is an example in the documentation showing that Nuxt supports server-side WebAssembly, but it does not address memory allocation or related errors in production environments WASM Example.
Some related issues in the sources discuss memory leaks and high memory usage in Nuxt applications, often linked to specific modules or build configurations, but not directly to WebAssembly or the error you described. For example, memory leaks have been reported with certain modules like @nuxtjs/svg-sprite, and workarounds such as wrapping components in <client-only> have been suggested, but these are not related to WebAssembly instantiation errors Memory Leak & Bundle Hash Issues.
If you are using WebAssembly in your Nuxt app and encountering this error, it may be related to the environment's WebAssembly memory limits or how the VPS allocates memory for Wasm modules, but the knowledge sources do not provide a confirmed solution or troubleshooting steps for this scenario.
