[image] Rebake all posts? rake posts:rebake On a new Ubuntu 18 host, I’m having a problem with this step: # cd /var/discourse/ # ./launcher enter app # rake posts:rebake Rebaking post markdown for 'default' 5 / 2950 ( 0.2%)/usr/local/bin/rake: line 2: 6788 Killed RA…

Do you still have both servers up? Can you compare folders? Maybe rsync between old and new and see the differences?

The old server is gone (the process seemed to go so smoothly, I didn’t think to check images before shutting the old one down) Would rebaking re-create the missing images? Any thoughts as to why it’s failing?

This evening I rebooted the host (though it’s uptime was under 2 weeks) rebaking succeeded # rake posts:rebake Rebaking post markdown for 'default' 2950 / 2950 (100.0%) 2950 posts done! ------------------------- but, as you suggested, this didn’t bring back the images. Ill start a new thread…

I tried recover_from_tombstone. The command exited without warnings, and so I’m trying to rebuild. That process fails at random places. I’ve tried rebooting the host, rebuilding the app, and it fails anywhere from 5-55% of the way through the rebake process. Note that there are only ~2950 posts.. …

I’ve tried a couple of times, and still had errors. Since I posted, the missing images were fixed, and I’ve rebuilt the container. The rebake still failed, but after a reboot of the host I was able to get the rebake to succeed. # ./launcher enter app root@community-2019-app:/var/www/discourse# rak…

[image] watchmanmonitor: Killed FYI this nearly always means “ran out of memory or some other hard limit” You can probably see a log entry in your kernel ring buffer (dmesg) saying something got killed to free memory.

[image] Stephen: You mentioned it’s a 2GB server, but does it have swap? I’ve added swap via Digital Ocean’s guide . Will see how this goes.

That’s it, without a doubt. On 1GB it’s mandatory, on anything more than 1GB it’s only a matter of time before processes are killed when the system runs low on free memory: [image] Worker process is more than defined? Self-hosting Our recommended configuration…
