Yikes, over night my matrix #synapse jail blew up consuming all RAM, so I had to reboot the #FreeBSD host to regain control.
It was constrained in its own jail but caused all other jails to pretty much stop responding.
^C didn't work anymore, processes would hang instead of properly ending.
Now, after a reboot, everything but the synapse jail seems fine again. The synapse jail doesn't even start anymore. Must find out what is preventing it from starting. Imposed a 4GB limit now.
@luto Thanks, it's not a Python thing this time I guess. I need to make the jail start up at all and then see if I can find out what happened.
I've imposed a 4GB RAM limit on the jail by now just to be on the safe side…
Let's see how this is going…
@MacLemon Synapse is a horrible, RAM eating, mess.
I often use the ratio open vs. closed issues as a measure of stability. Stable software usually has 0.6 or lower, synapse is currently at about 2.
Matrix is great conceptually, but it needs a low-footprint server and client
