My server (fedora) stops all podman containers after 2-3 hours since 3 days. I can start all containers again, and the same happens after a while. I do not know where to look for the problem.
In top, I found a oom message. I assume that the system runs out of memory and stops all services. How can I find the problem? I can’t find anything in the container logs.
I can see that systemctl status is always starting. It doesn’t become “running”. But I do not know how to proceed.
If something you’re running has a memory leak then it doesn’t matter how much RAM you have.
You can try adding memory limits to your containers to see if that limits the splash damage. That’s to say you would hopefully see only one container (the bad one) dying.
that’s neat. Tank you.
So far I follow a bottom up strategy. I’ll keep adding containers each day (or after many hours) and wait for it to stop. I also looked up how to limit memory usage. It’s a great idea to limit all containers and see which one fails. thanks!
