December 1, 20232 yr Hey all, really scratching my head with this one. My Plex docker container has worked perfectly for the last 12 months, however out of the blue it's started crashing. Took a while to figure out why it was crashing, and I've discovered partially whats responsible - and thats a significant memory leak, which in turn is causing the CPU to spike. I've included a video of what I'm seeing with "docker stats" and the Plex Media Server container logs. You'll see a common error "Critical: libusb_init failed", Googling this error suggests it's related to USB devices, however I do not use any so I'm a bit confused with this one. Steps taken to no avail: Rebooting the container Limiting the memory to 8gb from 16gb (max available) Restarting docker service Allocating more storage for docker file Performed a "btrfs scrub" - no errors Rebooted server Forced update of container Plenty of Google searching but no luck (or not looked hard enough) I'm curious, has anybody experienced this issue before? And if so, what's the best way of identifying exactly what's causing the memory leak? Thank you in advance 🙂 plex_memory_leak.mp4
