Minio as Backup - Timeout/Slowdown

[girish]

@doodlemania2 Maybe we can ask on the upstream bug tracker as to what might cause this. I tried searching there but didn't find anything interesting.

[doodlemania2]

@girish on it!

@doodlemania2 They sent me here: https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/docs/config#api which is good for explaining how to adjust it, but was more hoping for an understanding of how it calculates it based on server resources. Suffice to say, I bumped it up to 8GB of RAM and the errors have vanished!

@doodlemania2 whoa.. what was the RAM setting before?

Sounds like it needs to release some memory more regularly before it's done with a long backup via rsync.

[doodlemania2]

@robi the app defaults - 256mb

[robi]

@doodlemania2 can you test it with other increments to see where the threshold is?

[doodlemania2]

@robi Set it to 4GB and it slowed way down, so, I'd say anything below that would be too little.

[robi]

@doodlemania2 can you report your findings to the Minio team and see if they have a solution?

[doodlemania2]

@robi I did - they recommended nothing less than 4GB for anything "production" worthy. As Cloudron's default is 256MB, that surely splains most of it.

[robi]

@doodlemania2 I hear you.

The question was more about optimizing that requirement and more frequent checkpoints or memory free events to not require an ever rising memory requirement of such large swings.

[doodlemania2]

@robi will inquire!

@doodlemania2 hey I am facing the same issue can you suggest to me where I can set the ram in Minio

@Gaurav it's not in minio, it's in Cloudron App Config for Minio.
