Problem/Motivation

While updating drupal.org/download to promote the Drupal quickstart command (instead of zip/tar.gz as the primary way to get Drupal) encountered some memory issues.

The standard Drupal quickstart command recommending the demo_umami profile doesn't fit in with most systems 128M limit for php memory: 

$ git clone https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal.git && cd drupal && composer install
$ php ./core/scripts/drupal quick-start demo_umami

The failure output typically looks like: 

php ./core/scripts/drupal quick-start demo_umami
 9/17 [▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░░░░░░░░░░░]
Install site
PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /Users/timlehnen/Dev/quickstart/drupal/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Config/Entity/Query/Condition.php on line 125

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /Users/timlehnen/Dev/quickstart/drupal/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Config/Entity/Query/Condition.php on line 125

This can be mitigated with a command like:
$ php -d memory_limit=256M core/scripts/drupal quick-start demo_umami

Per @alexpott - it is likely this issue is related to: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3043330

Steps to reproduce

Run the quickstart command.

Standard and Minimal profiles fit in the 128M default, but there are some reports they encounter random whitescreens after install.

Related issues: +#3271178: Quick start command installation stops responding

I will just mention and add #3271178: Quick start command installation stops responding under "Related issues" here, to hopefully give it some attention, since the Drupal Quickstart command (for some) freezes after a minute, at least since March 2022 ...

Version: 10.1.x-dev » 11.x-dev

Drupal core is moving towards using a “main” branch. As an interim step, a new 11.x branch has been opened, as Drupal.org infrastructure cannot currently fully support a branch named main. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted for the 11.x branch, which currently accepts only minor-version allowed changes. For more information, see the Drupal core minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal core release cycle.

#3043330: Reduce the number of field blocks created for entities (possibly to zero) landed today! Does that mean we can close this?

Unfortunately I can still reproduce this on 11.x

Both https://www.drupal.org/download and in the docs use more memory (memory_limit=256M), so maybe that takes care of it?

I use DDEV to run quick-start, but am facing difficulties currently ... see Document or fix Drupal Quickstart command #7348.

Version: 11.x-dev » main

Drupal core is now using the main branch as the primary development branch. New developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted to the main branch.
