Baserow didn't let me access some tables then crashed when restarting it

[gabrielle]

Hello,

I've added a 70k records to a base in Baserow today. It was working alright (a bit slow, sure) but tonight it wouldn't let me access some tables and gave me error messages when trying to change rows in the tables I could access.

I tried increasing the memory with not much success. The graphs were showing I was quite under the limit but could not access a large part of my app.

When I tried restoring the back up, it gave me error 500, saying other users where accessing the app. Now it won't start, saying:

Nov 13 03:12:49 - ERROR (node:25) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The punycode module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.
Nov 13 03:12:49 - (Use node --trace-deprecation ... to show where the warning was created)
Nov 13 03:12:50 => Healtheck error got response status 502

Can someone please help? I am out of my depth here

Thank you!

Have you tried to restore it again? Also follow the restore logs in the logsviewer to maybe get more error info. The DeprecationWarning is likely irrelvant and something else does not startup, if you hit a 502 error via healthcheck.

I tried restoring it a number of times after giving more space to Postgresql and now it restarted again. For a while, Cloudron told me there was no DNS record pointing on the app (there was no modification there in the last months) and then it started working again.
What are the steps I can take so it doesn't happen again in the future?

Hard to tell in hindsight in which state the app was but if adding more resources helped then this looks like the solution to ensure the system doesn't run out of disk space or maybe memory

I am running into a similar issue, there is 2/3 of the content of a table I can not access (record lines are displayed in white with no content and I can't click on them). I can not figure out what the issue is and it makes some view of the table crash (but not others).
In Cloudron, Baserow has an error saying: FileSystem Error: failed to register layer: write /app/code/web-frontend/node_modules/node-sass/build/Release/obj.target/binding.node: no space left on device
It's failing to update to 1.29.2 (currently at 1.29.0).
Weirdly, I have 4Go of space left on my server and the update is about 1Go.

Is there another device I should look at?

Maybe other filesystems like /tmp or /run ran out of disk space temporarily? Can you open a webterminal into the app and run df right after the issue happens?
