Cloudron update to 7.5.1 - Success!

@humptydumpty Trying not to prolong the discussion, but good sources are https://privacytests.org/ (English) and https://www.kuketz-blog.de (German, seems to be down at the moment).

Firefox (only browser that can handle hundreds of tabs for me, PWA extension is useful, too), and Vivaldi (useful for creating webapps) for me.

7.5.1 updated on 4 instances without drama

[mhgcic]

Same no problems, loving the updates, but we did notice a slowdown of apps starting when restarting the server.

It took a full 10-20 minutes for all apps to start, and even though they said started we got the error stating "This app is currently not responding. Please try refreshing the page in a few minutes.", we upgraded the server to see if it would help to go from a 4 CPU and 8 GB RAM to 8 CPU Premium Server with 16GB RAM, and still had the same issue.

@mhgcic this is a one time delay because the update also recreates all the containers and upgrades databases.

@girish I tried this after a new server changed to mounts, still had the same issue.

Just to verify, it was not isolated to the restart after Cloudron upgrade, but any time I restart the server.

Update:

I just did a restart again, and it still 10-20 minuets for the app to show, even though it says running.

Not Responding Error

Shows all as running

This was from a restart hours after the upgrade and upgrade restart. Just now!

@mhgcic as far as I can see with your last screenshot, you're running many instances of high RAM and CPU needed apps, for only a 8CPU and 16 GB of RAM. Are you running this on a VPS on top of that? I'd strongly suggest you use a dedicated server for the kind of apps you want to run. Might have been okay for a while, but resources needs increases with usage.

[girish]

@mhgcic is the start up issue related to https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/9902/_acme-challenge (which you created)?

[mhgcic]

@micmc

It is a dedicated premium server AMD EPYC Milan

I doubt somehow it is a low-resource issue. The only one that is on the boarder of being high is RAM. I could increase the RAM to see if that helps.

[mhgcic]

@girish Sorry no, that is unrelated to this.

I found the startup delay when making changes to volumes on the server.

[girish]

Usually the disk is the limiting speed in all this. Then comes RAM and then CPU. What is the disk speed ? (It's in the System page in the graphs)

Regardless if it is what's causing the issues you're currently facing, I'd definitely get more RAM if I were you.

Each instance of Mastodon needs at least 1.5GB and each instance of Discourse at least 2GB. Already that is at least 10.5GB RAM you need before you've included all your other apps plus Cloudron and Ubuntu themselves.

And these are bare minimums. If you have users actually actively using these apps they'll need more.

One reason to love SSDnodes is their generous amounts of RAM.

[girish]

You can also restart a single app and just time how much time it takes to restart it. Maybe try something which is not discourse. Discourse takes notoriously long to restart since it has to compile assets and also it's a rails app.

I've read too many negative reviews (on here and elsewhere) about SSDnodes to be interested in using them. In my view "too good to be true" pricing is basically exactly that, i.e. too good to be true. There are loads of posts on here with people having issues with them (although admittedly also others that seem to be very happy with them)

My plan is to move to a dedicated Hetzner server like this one https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax41-nvme which comes with 64GB RAM that isn't shared or using any virtualization.

Boom!
Agree 100%

That's wisdom, moreover their prices are very good for that high-quality tech and service. The auction section has monthly prices that will put you on your...

I'm surprised to see the Ryzen 3600 processor on there. That's from the desktop CPU lineup. It's a shame they don't have any affordable dedi's in the US though.

BTW @jdaviescoates It looks like the AX41-NVME has a processing time of several working days in case you missed it. Just noticed there are more than one listing with the same name. NEVERMIND

@jdaviescoates Oooh! That looks very tempting! Nice!
