Hello!

I recently did some upgrades on my system, I added more ram, added a new disk, added a new ssd (this one only stores immich thumbnails).

Now with this combination something happened to my server any I'm getting 100% CPU usage a lot. It is so bad that I need 2-3minutes just to ssh into my server.

htop and docker stats show very weird things, processes are fighting for CPU cycles. For example when did you see htop process itself uses 45% CPU last time? Then I see lsof on top a lot, then qemu and docker service as well. Basically anything I invoke on the interface goes up with high CPU usage and very hard to tell what exactly is throttling my cpu. In docker stats every container randomly goes between 0-20% CPU usage even the inactive ones like mysql for my websites that I'm not using. Very weird.

 

Everything still works, I can access my dockers, access my server but it is super slow. Crazy slow.

The config is HP Elitedesk PC with i5-7500 and 16Gb RAM. I also have an older nvidia card for plex encoding.

I have attached the diagnostics, any help appreciated.

Server load is extremely high, reboot in safe mode with docker and VM services disabled and retest, if OK, start re-enabling the services, then start the containers one by one, and let it run a few minutes to make sure all is OK before string the next one.

indeed when im stopping docker service it looks good. My only new docker in the setup is immich. The rest of my dockers are running for years no issue. I will test the setup now without immich, I already have all my images indexed and the thumbnails generated im not sure why it should be an issue

Could be an issue with how Immich is configured, recommend asking in the appropriate support thread for any config issues.
