Frontend freeze on version later than v1.0.2

[Jenkler]

Issues with random freeze v1.0.3, v1.x.x and master. Someone else or is it only me?

[frissdiegurke]

What does freeze? The frontend? The node.js process? Requests? 100% CPU? nginx errors?
Some more information on that would be nice

[Jenkler]

I get nothing in the logs at all. Not even om nodebb dev mode. Server just crashes after a while

[frissdiegurke]

Maybe you're out of memory and have no swap configured?

[Jenkler]

No, thats not the case! I reverting to v1.0.2 to check if it works better!

[Jenkler]

V1.0.2 did not work I am runnig this in Docker, I cant figure out why it freezes

[frissdiegurke]

Are you using non-default plugins/theme? Might there be an incompatibility issue with NodeBB@^1.0.0?

[Jenkler]

No, standard persona theme. The system just hangs. No logs no nothing. Running as root in docker. If its idle for a while it hangs.

[Jenkler]

I am using mongodb and its not DB related. I guess it something wrong with dependencies for tag v1.0.3. I can stop the service but nobody can connect. It just freezes. Maybe to new persona? No loggs or errors

Hard to troubleshoot this!

I guess this is a frontend issue that triggers on certain db structure!

[Jenkler]

Branch v1.x.x seams to work better, except nodebb-plugin-custom-pages (Downgrade to 0.2.4)
It had a crash fix in the git logs. Maybe thats why tag v.1.0.3 (without fix) it crashes

[Jenkler]

Nope, v1.x.x also crashes If I deactivate plugins are they gone from the process or can they still break things? Still troubleshooting .... seams to be something wrong with nodebb-plugin-custom-pages ....

[frissdiegurke]

If deactivated they don't get loaded at all. So they can't break anything.

[Jenkler]

Ok, good 2 know. I am going insane over this issue. All seams more stable in tag v1.0.2. I can stop the server when the webb is crashed.

I start it with this -> node loader.js --no-daemon --no-silent

The plugin I use: https://www.nodebb.se/topic/4/bra-plugin-att-känna-till (Something unstable here) ?
It can trigger in 5-30 mins so ite hell to find this issue ... Gahh...

[Jenkler]

Crash when all plugins are off wen > v1.0.2
Could be nodebb-theme-persona ??

.... Trying master now. Maybe that works

... Nope, master with no plugins and all disabled dont work. It could be docker or something in the DB. There must be a better way to troubleshoot this?

Any new system dependency for > v1.0.2 ??

[Jenkler]

Need help here! I am stuck!

If I connect to the same DB v1.0.2 works but not > v1.0.2. It dies random when you click in the menu om the site. (But you can still stop the server with nodebb stop without error) I get no errorlog what so ever! It just dies on me!

I have another DB with less data.(Both are small databases) that seams to work with >v1.0.2. I guess its something in the DB that triggers this.

How can I troubleshoot this?

[Jenkler]

1. I need a tip about database structure checker for nodebb (My other db is still alive so something is wrong).
2. More verbose debugging somehow
3. Is it possible to clean the db somehow without loosing data?

@psychobunny what tools do you use to troubleshoot the system?

[belstgut]

did u run ./nodebb upgrade??

[Jenkler]

Yes i did More good ideas?

[Jenkler]

Trying now with node debug app.js but still no output Iam am stuck with v1.0.2. Unable fix this.

[Jenkler]

Is it possible to remove every plugin-settings from the DB? Or some other type of cleanup !
