Starting issues

Have you tried bumping up the memory limit in the App config?

[nebulon]

As @robi suggested, this may just be a memory issue. Also check the system memory itself, the limit for apps is only a upper limit, but not related to the actually available memory on the system as a whole.

Augmenting the memory from 2GB to 5GB does not solve the issue. Still looping with these messages:

Is a fresh installation of the app starting up fine? I just did a test install and that at least worked, also a fresh old version updated to the latest works. Maybe there is some data migration issue in your case?

A fresh installation has exactly the same issues in the starting sequence.

[nebulon]

that is indeed odd, and you have checked the system does not run out of memory?

There's no notification or other indication that the system is running out of memory.

[nebulon]

And there are no further error logs or anything around the restarting?

Unfortunately the app is already defaulting to logleven DEBUG for what its worth.

Can you maybe put the app in recovery mode from the repair tab i your cloudron dashboard and then open a webterminal, where you run /app/pkg/start.sh manually? Does this reveal more?

The app seems to start normally. And starts the checking of the watched websites until this point:

Waited for the night and a reboot of the server did the trick. Could even scale the memory back to 2Gb

[nebulon]

Hm very strange, but sometimes things just get stuck without apparent reason and a reboot skips some lengthy investigation...glad it worked out in the end for now!
