    @p44 Have you tried to reboot your server and then do the update?

    @p44 out of interest, do you have a WP unmanaged app installed on your instance?

      @avatar1024 this is not unmanaged WP related. We have been investigating this a lot last few days but it appears to happen very often in netcup servers at least.

      The main issue is that runc is getting stuck (you can also do ps auxf on the server):

      root       84188  0.0  0.0 712448  9880 ?        Sl   11:09   0:01 /usr/bin/containerd-shim-runc-v2 -namespace moby -id afb25df337753f9944749bdba5bcb577ae58630d4529da3293ea3730c3164be4 -address /run/containerd/c
      root       84200  0.0  0.0 1230148 10704 ?       Sl   11:09   0:00  \_ runc --root /var/run/docker/runtime-runc/moby --log /run/containerd/io.containerd.runtime.v2.task/moby/afb25df337753f9944749bdba5bcb577ae586
      root       84210  0.0  0.0 1083864 10968 ?       Ssl  11:09   0:00      \_ runc init
      

      Those runc init above is just hanging there waiting for something (you can strace and see it's waiting on some futex). It's unclear what the issue is so far.

      I know you (or @nebulon) have an account at Netcups Forum. Maybe ask them for help?

        @subven I think is not Netcup related issue.

          So we had an instance which seems to not hit this issue anymore by making sure the kvm version is updated. On netcup this apparently means to shutdown and boot the instance through their control panel. A simple reboot/restart will not solve it. Maybe anyone here facing this and being on netcup could attempt this so we get more info.

            I just did that (a power cycle via their scp server control panel), let's see if it resolves the issue for me...

            I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                I also have a WordPress dev app on the cloudron that gets stuck and don't have it on the other instances. The only other app I have on it and not on the other ones is mattermost

                PS: the instance I restarted earlier today and that was working now hangs again on updates. Restarted again and now working fine...for some time...

                Weird, got three Netcup instances and only ever hit the issue one. Plus other people seem to be hitting it with other providers.

                Good news is that ever since the last reboot my instance stopped hanging (it's been 4 days). The only thing I did compared to the other time I rebooted is that I updated all apps manually to their latest version and so had no more update to do (the last app was WP unmanaged). Ever since updates have been working fine.

                I had actually already done this from Netcup SCP the first time I hit the issue but it hadn't solved for me.

                  Ok, so one thing which I have noticed is common is that the kernel is 5.4.0-132-generic (output of uname -nar and Ubuntu 20.04.5 (lsb_release -a). Can others please confirm what kernel and ubuntu they are on?

                        @humptydumpty no, I think not. Are you still facing this issue? What's your current kernel and ubuntu release?

                              So, the issue was just reproduced on our DigitalOcean demo cloudron. That is also running ubuntu 20 and 5.4.0-132-generic

                                @girish I'm in the clear but for others, what would be the best way to upgrade to 22.04 without running into docker hangs like I did?

                                    Alright, this seems to be a kernel issue. Other programs are experiencing similar:

                                    GOMAXPROCS=1 apparently alleviates the issue. So, I will try this one.
