VM shuts down when easy-ocr is run on it

[rishavmitra]

Hello, We are trying to create a website that converts Images in a PDF to text. While running it locally this works works fine and after a minute we get the results.

But when I hosted my application on a VM in Azure, the VM shuts down whenever the readtext() function is called for reading large text filled images. There are no exceptions raised and no warnings.

Here is a screenshot:

This is the Easy-ocr function:

Any help is highly appreciated.

I am facing the same issue but on docker, any solution for this?

Yeah, the solution was upgrading your RAM, Seems like Easy OCR requires a minimum of 8GB ram to run. So bumping up the RAM on your VM might solve this issue.

Yeah you are right, figured it out a while ago.

I'm having a similar issue. Running on an Azure GPU worker - 8 cores, 56 GB RAM, and 16GB vRAM. It just shuts down. :(

During training or inference? Are you getting CUDA OOM errors? Running the detection or recognition model? Or both?
