Crash loop backoff
How to troubleshoot an CrashLoopBackOff error.
A CrashLoopBackOff error in Kubernetes means that an instance is constantly crashing. After each crash, it is restarted, but this does not fix the problem and it crashes again, leading to a loop.
The underlying cause of a CrashLoopBackOff error is usually somewhere in your application, so it can be hard to track down.
Take the following steps:
- Click on the instance in the Release UI and look at the crash reason.
- Look at the exit codes which might describe what caused the crash.
- Look at the logs before the crash to see if anything else went wrong
If the container dies too quickly for you to be able to effectively debug, you can modify the run command for that instance and add a
sleep step. This will force the container to stay alive and give you time to figure out what the issue is.Last modified 5mo ago
