Memory Leak after auto update during startup

[jfastnacht]

I just started using the AstroTuxLauncher a while ago. It's running within Docker with the start command:

python3 AstroTuxLauncher.py start

I've activated auto updates:

AutoUpdateServer = true

Yesterday I've restarted the server and the launcher updated my 1.30.12.0 to 1.31.76.0. After around 2h the game became laggy and suddenly disconnected me from the server. Looking at my monitoring, I saw a linear growth in RAM usage, which dropped the moment I got disconnected:

The container crashed as well, so I've restarted it afterwards and first thought it was a regression within the Dedicated Server due to the new version, but what actually happened was the python process slowly increasing in RAM usage.

I rebuild my Docker image with the newest version which seems to have fixed it, just in case someone is looking for a quick fix.

So I assume that the problem started with the auto update. I still have both images, if you want to reproduce it.

I will have a look at this when I have time, but the python process doesn't really have anything to do with the game itself, it just sends commands and gets responses to the dedicated server while its running. I am also slowly in the process of rewriting AstroTuxLauncher, which may fix the issue.

EDIT: The auto update also just calls a tool called depotdownloader to update the server itself. Is your temp directory a ramdisk?

Is your temp directory a ramdisk?

No and actually there's nothing special in my Containerfile and entrypoint IMHO. There's absolutely no problem up to the point, AstroTuxLauncher is working great right now. The problem only occured when it updated Astroneer on startup.

Containerfile
