Hi all,
I am trying to create my node ami using packer and ansible. Everything goes well until this command:
cabal build cardano-cli cardano-node
I get the following error
“Installing library in /home/cardano/.cabal/store/ghc-8.10.4/incoming/new-41402/home/cardano/.cabal/store/ghc-8.10.4/shelley-spec-ledger-0.1.0.0-967ff6c3fe446d186f5667618d069d868bf1393ecae37a7bede44184fbf87647/lib”, “/home/cardano/.cabal/store/ghc-8.10.4/incoming/new-41402/home/cardano/.cabal/store/ghc-8.10.4/shelley-spec-ledger-0.1.0.0-967ff6c3fe446d186f5667618d069d868bf1393ecae37a7bede44184fbf87647/lib/Shelley/Spec/Ledger/.copyFile84513-62.tmp: copyFile: resource exhausted (No space left on device)”]}
I figured might be due to my root device size, but it seems fine:
“launch_block_device_mappings”: [
{
“device_name”: “/dev/xvda”,
“volume_size”: 40,
“volume_type”: “gp2”,
“delete_on_termination”: true
}
],
I am following the install guide from coincashew.
I tried to increase the size to 80, but still stuck 
I am using AWS. What type of server are you running? I was running 60 gig ssds and i just expanded them to 120. Though right now I am only using about 27 gigs on my Block producer and Relay.
I am currently using Ubuntu 20 on t3.xlarge (paying using partial up front, about .08 cents per hour for both my servers or $119.04 or $1,428.48 per year, its closer to $1700 though. As soon as ARM processors are more supported I plan to move to those and also planning to run a server eventually at home.
If you follow the Coincashew guide you should have no issues. I dont know what packer or ansible is so I cant help you with those. I just did it straight from the coincashew guide and followed it step by step and it works well.
Let me know if you have any other questions I might be able to help with.
Stop your instance you’re trying to increase the size on
Left hand nav: volumes link - select the volume id checkbox - actions button - modify volume - size inputfield and enter the size you want to increase it to. ( I recommend 100 gb or more )
Left hand nav: instances link - click on your instance - storage tab and you’ll see the volume size increased. - Action button - Start instance.
Also, i noticed your device map is “/dev/xvda”. → it might be “/dev/sda”, or “/dev/sda1”,
thanks! It might be ansible not cleaning up all its tempfiles from installing ghc and cabal. Going to try a clean up before installing the node.

Thanks. I am following the same guide. Just want to automate everything. Do you think t3.large will work? It seems some people start with t3.medium. I also wanted to use ARM… There are actually ghc and cabal arm binaries.

I started with a medium and started to run out of ram. Now with the 1.27.0 update it’s using even more ram which could be corrected with the next update. You could use a t3.large and a swap file. I didn’t really want to mess with all that do I just upgraded it for now to t3.xlarge
Also make sure you have EIP for your servers in case they crash from insufficient memory . Or your iPS will reset .
