Container based on xwiki:lts-postgres-tomcat does not start reliable

Help / Discuss
#1

Hi,
I have xwiki with the above mentioned image running. I always had problems, that after a restart the container does not start reliable. It often hangs at 500-700MB. Once it reaches > 800MB of memory usage I can access the GUI and memory usage continues to grow to 2GB. Usually it takes 2-10 attempts to get the container started. Since a couple of month I even need up to 30 attempts. I am using a script for that.
Any idea why this happens or how to find a root cause?
Running on Debian 11 on amd64. Docker version: docker-ce 5:23.0.1-1~debian.11~bullseye
Logs do not give a clue to me. Same logs as when completely starting, but not complete.
Here the last lines:

Do you have unsent emails in the perm dir?

The best to know what’s happening if it hangs is to do a thread dump during the hanging and then to provide that stack here.

Thanks

Had indeed some unsent emails. Fixed it. Will the if it caused the issue.
Thanks!!!

#4

ok so it was trying to resend them at startup. You can disable this feature if you wish, see Mail Sender Storage API (XWiki.org)

Unfortunately this did not work.

Trying now this:
https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-18436?focusedId=108620&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-108620

from here

Will see if this works.
