synapse-haproxy container in CrashLoopBackOff state Issue We are seeing [karl1@element ~]$ kubectl get pods -n element-onprem NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE server-well-known-8c6bd8447-fts78 1/1 Running 2 39h app-element-web-c5bd87777-745gh 1/1 Running 2 39h postgres-0 1/1 Running 2 39h instance-synapse-haproxy-5b4b55fc9c-jv7pp 0/1 CrashLoopBackOff 40 39h instance-synapse-main-0 1/1 Running 6 39h and the synapse-haproxy container never leaves the CrashLoopBackOff state. Environment Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5 Element Enterprise On-Premise PoC Installer 0.6.1 Resolution Add the following lines to /etc/security/limits.conf: * soft nofile 100000 * hard nofile 100000 and reboot the box. After a reboot, the microk8s environment will come back up and the synapse-haproxy container should run without error. Root Cause Check the logs of synapse-haproxy with this command: kubectl logs -n element-onprem instance-synapse-haproxy-5b4b55fc9c-jv7pp You will want to replace the instance name with your specific instance. See if you have this message: '[haproxy.main()] Cannot raise FD limit to 80034, limit 65536.' If so, you have run out of open file descriptors and as such the container cannot start.
