Linux OOMAnalyser

I’ve started this project to give the Python to JavaScript compiler Transcrypt a try.

This web page splits the content of a Linux Out Of Memory message into smaller pieces, aggregates these and presents them in a more human friendly format.

You can use the current version on www.carstengrohmann.de/oom/.

Design Goals

• A local copy of the web page should run offline - without an Internet connection, without loading 3rd party libraries nor transferring data to foreign servers
• A better understanding of the Linux Memory Management
• Start learning JavaScript, CSS and HTML

Build and Installation

This section describes a manual build and installation of OOMAnalyser.

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or later
• Transcrypt 3.6.101

Setup

Clone the repository:

# git clone https://github.com/CarstenGrohmann/OOMAnalyser

Setup the Python virtual environment:

# virtualenv env
# . env/bin/activate
# env/bin/pip install -Ur requirements.txt

or 

# make venv

Build

# . env/bin/activate
# transcrypt --build --map --nomin -e 6 OOMAnalyser.py

or 

# make build

Usage

• Change into the source directory and start your own small web server.

• Start Python built-in web server:

• # python3 -m http.server 8080 --bind 127.0.0.1
  
  or 
  
  # make websrv

• Open the URL http://localhost:8080/OOMAnalyser.html in your favorite browser.

• That’s it!
