My server (fedora) stops all podman containers after 2-3 hours since 3 days. I can start all containers again, and the same happens after a while. I do not know where to look for the problem.

In top, I found a oom message. I assume that the system runs out of memory and stops all services. How can I find the problem? I can’t find anything in the container logs.

I can see that systemctl status is always starting. It doesn’t become “running”. But I do not know how to proceed.

    The issue with diagnosing memory issues is that it usually results in no memory available to handle the logging of such a problem when it happens.

    I’ve found that the easieat approach is to set up a file as additional swap space, and swapon, then see if the problem disappears, either partially or fully.
