Hello, @jossshe

I will recommend you to add swap space on the droplet if this is not done yet. Also you can check for any out of memory references in the logs and check for killed processes as well.

You can check our tutorial on how to add swap space:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-20-04

To trace any killed processes you can run this command:

grep -i kill /var/log/messages

and to trace any OOM (out of memory):

grep -i oom /var/log/messages

If you can see out of memory references in the log you can try to tweak the configuration and optimize it if possible. The other option will be to upgrade the memory of the droplet as well.

Hope that this helps!
Regards,
Alex

Hi there,

In addition to what Alex mentioned already, I could also suggest making sure that you are running the latest version of icecast2 so that if there are any memory leaks in the older versions, they might have been patched in the newer ones.
