Layer5 web server get stuck on gatsby-plugin-sharp.IMAGE_PROCESSING jobs

You server seems to be starting quite well and that’s great. So here is what you can try. Instead of running make site from your Vscode terminal, try and run it inside your terminal outside Vscode. Only use Vscode to edit your local version of the codebase while the server is running in an outer terminal independent of Vscode. This is because, Vscode might be running heavy and it is possible to hang you server since it’s consuming more system resources. Also make sure you don’t have too many things running at once since node servers also consume system memory. Try restarting your system first before trying all these above. Restarting your system frees up RAM memory.

Alternatives ways how you can run commands outside the VS code:

  1. Using Powershell: If you are a Windows user then open the PowerShell in the folder and there you can run the command
  2. Using Git Bash Shell: Open the git bash shell in the folder, there you can run the command
