[joseph]

@awnzky interesting, so you had to create an empty custom.conf ?

@awnzky interesting, so you had to create an empty custom.conf ?

i just copy paste from default conf. and rise temp_file_limit

[joseph]

@awnzky looks like temp_file_limit is set to 4GB by default. What did you raise this to? How big is your peertube database dump ? you can check /home/yellowtent/appsdata/<appid>/postgresqldump . Maybe we can increase the default size even more in the code.

[awnzky]

its about 32GB. raise to 8GB.
i have new problem now. server crashed now. already remove custom.conf .
If I look at htop, it seems that when starting postgressql, the server cannot be accessed immediately.

[joseph]

@awnzky i see, that's quie a large database. have you also given postgres a lot of memory? under Services -> Postgresql -> Configure

[awnzky]

i give 36GB
how to view postgress error log. maybe it can be done through system rescue. but where is the config that I have to edit to stop postgress on booting..
i cant do anything in my server. just crashed. after postgressql start.

[awnzky]

i am using ubuntu 22 on Dual Xeon E5-2670 96GB memory.

Looks like you are hitting now a somewhat older issue with postgres. Does this fix work for you https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/11276/cloudron-update-to-7-7-0-postgresql-does-not-start/2?_=1723244919333 ?

[awnzky]

its working now. but with a little trick for my server. so i make postgree not start by making wrong custom.conf postgresql. the problem is when postgres start the server immediately crashes and can't do ssh or ping.
then i can enter dashboard and choose postgres recovery mode.

thanks for your help.

[nebulon]

well glad it worked out somehow in the end.
