In the battle of running my relays in a #Proxmox lxc container vs me, I’m losing. I’ve tried both Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.10. Does anyone know why the services would keep failing, needing periodic restarts? #asknostr
Discussion
More info please, which services, what is happening?
I’m running haven and wot relays by nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8. They were running flawlessly on a VPS, until the VPS started failing. So, I’m clearly doing something wrong within Proxmox, but I cannot find anything obvious.
Usually the logs should give some clue? Why don't you try to setup a full vm in proxmox? The container stuff can be overwhelming for a beginner sometimes...
Good advice. I was trying to keep it lean, but I’ll test a VM. Thanks.
Not 100% sure but don’t see how container vs full VM would make any difference here. I would say more likely check resource allocation on the container is adequate and processes are not getting killed due to insufficient resources or occasional spikes in usage.
The latest is that I ran a back up with Proxmox on this particular host last night, and now it’s behaving strangely. Relay services start, but don’t seem exposed to the WAN; even sshd is failing.
Definitely sounds like your hitting some ceiling or have too many VMs/Containers running simultaneously. If one task (ie backup) suddenly takes more resources away from the running containers, the oom killer will cut off less ‘important’ processes in order to keep the system from crashing completely.
A completely reasonable deduction, but actually the host is swimming in headroom.
I d recommend running it as VM, not as LXC
