Okay i have a strange problem. Im running a nextcloud instance with linuxserver.io docker. And every night at 03:00 AM i get 100% load. And it disapears when i restart the docker.

I have entered docker shell when the high loads occurs and i see that the process is php /app/www/public/cron.php that is causing the high load.

Nothing i the logs shows errors and i have checked all settings. How can i continue the search of what making the high load?

I cant trigger the high load from anything else execpt waiting until 03:00 AM.

Thanks!

I checked crontab -l

root@f6449ccdbac8:/#crontab -l do daily/weekly/monthly maintenance min hour day month weekday command */15 * * * * run-parts /etc/periodic/15min

0 * * * * run-parts /etc/periodic/hourly

0 2 * * * run-parts /etc/periodic/daily

0 3 * * 6 run-parts /etc/periodic/weekly

0 5 1 * * run-parts /etc/periodic/monthly

And under daily i found logrotate:

!/bin/sh

if [ -f /etc/conf.d/logrotate ]; then . /etc/conf.d/logrotate fi

if [ -x /usr/bin/cpulimit ] && [ -n "$CPULIMIT" ]; then _cpulimit="/usr/bin/cpulimit --limit=$CPULIMIT" fi

$_cpulimit /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf -s /config/log/logrotate.status EXITVALUE=$? if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then /usr/bin/logger -t logrotate "ALERT exited abnormally with [$EXITVALUE]" fi exit 0

But i dont understand what could be wrong ๐Ÿค” maybe something with the logfile which is in a bind mount?

I will investigate further!

I don't know enough about it, but it does seem like there are issues where logrotate can cause CPU overload issues like the one below.
