Building locales one by one to get around JavaScript heap out of memory

[anaclumos]

Does building locales individually and moving the files to the build folder produce the same outcome as docusaurus build? This is to get around JavaScript heap out of memory on remote worker machines.

Actually no... some docusaurus local redirect rules are different

[slorber]

I've seen those memory issues as well when using docusaurus build on i18n sites. I guess it's part of #4765 there's probably a memory leak somewhere that we should investigate.

docusaurus build --locale fr --out-dir fr should be equivalent, but note standalone locale sites use / as baseUrl by default because it's easier to deploy to subdomains (fr.docusaurus.io) this way.

If you want to build a single-domain localized site this way you'll have to use the new env var we added in #6731

function getSiteBaseUrl() {
  switch(process.env.DOCUSAURUS_CURRENT_LOCALE) {
    case "fr": return "/fr/";
    default: return "/";
  }
}

(there's an old draft PR that we should revive to make it easier: #6731)

I don't know what you mean here, but client direct plugin is not particularly recommended, and don't see why it should be affected.
