Im having trouble debugging why my nodeJS webapp gets killed by the OOM killer in Debian 11. Im working on a small VPS (VMware ESX 7.0.3 build-21313628) by IONOS with single core 1GHz cpu, 512MB RAM, 1,9GB swap and 10GB SSD.
The webapp runs with pm2 and nginx as a reverse proxy, im using certbot systemd timer for automatic SSL renewals.
The issue which occurs is the following: The VPS gets unresponsive and i get a "critical ping" alert. The stats in the IONOS dashboard most of the time show cpu usage going to 100% and staying there, as well as a drop in RAM usage and no more responsiveness when pinging. It happens randomly, sometimes after a week or two of running, sometimes after 2 days. A software reboot of the server helps to resolve the issues.
In normal operation, the RAM usage is at ~15-30% and CPU usage is at ~10%.
I took a look at the logs from the OOM killer and it seems that the issue always happens when mounting for either snapd itself or certbot.
