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…

Will do, thanks! Probably want to update your install docs to reflect that if you haven’t already.

This is a relatively new problem cc @sam

For the record, I just checked that I have automatic backups disabled, unless it’s something else that e.g. redis does every day and isn’t exposed to the Discourse admin config. But I’ve increased swap anyway and we’ll see how tomorrow goes!

Hi Alex, 429 is a very odd response code for the site to be sending due to memory problems. That’s normally because someone on the same IP address is doing something untoward. Is there any chance someone else on the same connection (a person or machine in your office, for example) is running some…

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.

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?)

Well one thing I would check is that NGINX inside the container (that has the rate limiting template enabled) does not think every single user has the same IP address.
