Check the ram usage on postgres. Theres a memory leak issue thats being monitored with a proposed fix in the next version (which is upgrading to the newer version of postgres)
Thank you! I was secretly hoping someone might have a quick suggestion of something to try. I'll see what I can find out.
Yeah no problem! My workaround solution is simply just restarting the postgres container when i notice ram usage spiking
Usually by the time I notice the server is already unreachable over SSH but I've been considering adding manual healthchecks to my containers. Paired with the docker-autoheal project it's been a really low effort way for me to keep services healthy without a lot of babysitting. I'm more nervous about implimenting it for something like a stateful database though, but I suppose it's no different than manually issuing a docker restart command.
