Hi, I’m not sure what this could be, and I think running Discourse on 1GB of memory plus 1GB of swap is probably below minimum spec at this point so I’d understand if this is outright unsupported, but I’m having a weird issue where my site goes down at exactly the same time every day (at around 2:4…

Those might be a red herring – I’m running the container behind an nginx on the host so I can keep some old LAMP apps up on a couple other subdomains, and I think it just gets hit a lot by people trying to access the site when it goes down like this, with that being the result. And I know I probabl…

I don’t think the nginx inside the container has diverged from stock at all, I use the provided launcher script for all the docker stuff. This is what the host nginx config for the site looks like if you’re curious, but I don’t think this is the problem: root@selectbutton:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled#…

I’m on a server with 2 GB of ram and I’m seeing the same behavior as of a few days ago. Seems to happen around backup time.

You need to run a replace command in the internal NGINX. After making the changes, look at the actual file on disk to confirm that you got what you wanted. A trick I use is: ./launcher enter app cd /etc/nginx/conf.d/ edit the discourse.conf file sv restart nginx see that my desired effect was ac…

OK, will test if it goes down again tomorrow despite increasing swap. Any other ideas if this turns out not to be it? The timeliness still makes me quite skeptical.

Yeah, the strict periodicity (in the absence of scheduled backups) is a very confusing aspect to this. Seems like a heck of a big clue, if you can figure out what’s running at that exact time, I think you’ll be 90% done.

Same problem for me :frowning: I’m tired of rebuild after every crash.

Ah, OK, good to know. So I should add that to the host nginx or the container nginx (which is to say, that to: block in the app.yml?)
