Solved Graphite stuck starting

[eyecreate]

On my cloudron instance, I can't see any disk stats because graphite is stuck starting. There seems to be a migration issue or something.

Is there a way I can correct this in the filesystem or is a patch needed?

[murgero]

@eyecreate Give the graphite service some more RAM. I had to do this a long time ago, thought it was patch but as a quick work around give it a try.

[nebulon]

From another use reporting the same issue, if you don't care about stat history, you can purge the graphite database when running the following commands via SSH into your server:

docker exec -ti graphite /bin/bash
> rm -rf /var/lib/graphite/* && rm /var/lib/graphite/.initialized

Then restart the service via the dashboard.

edited the .initialized path

[eyecreate]

@nebulon Adding memory didn't do anything, but taking your direction to erase database ended up working out.

Note that /var/lib/.initialized didn't exist and was in the graphite directory. Also, I had to manually stop and start the container and execute the command right away or docker wouldn't let me do anything because the container was in the process of restarting/starting.

@eyecreate ah good catch about the .initialized file, I've adjusted my snippet.
