Hi friends,

Pangolin keeps crashing my 1vcpu 1GB RAM VPS. Even a ssh connection request will time out and I have to reboot it via the VPS hosting portal.

I installed pangolin on a freshly commissioned VPS with 1vCPU and 1GB RAM with ubuntu 24.04 running a couple of weeks ago. I set it up via the installer according to https://docs.fossorial.io/Getting%20Started/quick-install#1-downloading-and-running-the-installer.

I have only around 5 resources connected and every couple of days the VPS completely crashes. I have noticed that the RAM is all used up most of the time because there are multiple node process which seem to be very RAM hungry.

I am guessing the crashes are because of this.

Is there any way to restrict the amount of node processes spawning in the app?

I really like this project but I cannot get pangolin running smoothly on a 1cCPU 1GB RAM setup like the docs suggest should be possible.

This is htop output right after a restart. The node processes will start hogging more RAM with time...

Hi!

Sorry you are having this issue.

I know there are many people running on VPS of similar size so I wonder what is wrong...

What VPS provider are you using?

It does seem that the node processes and other processes roughly match what I see on my VPS. I have about 500M of memory use at idle as well but I dont usually see that spike and kill it.

Do you have anything else on the VPS that could be growing a bit and killing it? I see fail2ban at the bottom there.

There is also the possibility of your domain getting heavy requests for some reason...

Could you check the logs to see why it crashed? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1068720/what-can-i-do-to-find-the-crash-reason

Hi Owen,

thanks for ruling out pangolin!

I am using ionos, a German hosting provider. They are at 1€/month as well and offer VPS locations near me in Germany.

Regarding the freezes:
journalctl -b -1 -eshowed a restart loop of snapd, so I reeinstalled it and will reopen this issue if it comes up again with more logs.

Cheers!
