We are running a few R applications via Docker containers using ShinyProxy as a front end.
The containers will intermittently launch, but fail right away, causing the “500” error.
Looked at it for quite a while, but could not figure out a pattern. It can launch fine for 10 times and fail on the 11th, or it can fail right away.
I think the issue has to do with Docker/R application specifically. I can reproduce it without ShinyProxy by just running the Docker command.
Here is the stack trace. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated. Also, /var/log/messages contains this line during the failures:
