Out of memory when doing initial synchronization

How to reduce memory footprint of the initial sync:

  • disable rocksdb cache by parameter -dbcache=0, the default size is 500MB
  • run blockbook with parameter -workers=1. This disables bulk import mode, which caches a lot of data in memory (not in rocksdb cache). It will run about twice as slowly but especially for smaller blockchains it is no problem at all.
