Maloja frequently using all cpu resources to the point of getting errors 504 (Gateway Time-Out)

[alscaldas]

Hello,

Maloja has been frequently using all of the cpu resources lately, to the point that I start to get 504 errors. It is an apparently random behavior, since it works fine most of the time and then it just gets slow to the point to being unusable, working again only if I restart the docker container.

I'm using a couple of tools to scrobble. Sometimes MPD + rescrobbled or Feishin (Navidrome) + Multi-scrobbler when on my desktop and Symphonium (also Navidrome + Multi-scrobbler) when using my Android phone.

Is there anything I can do to solve this issue? Maybe reinstall everything (although I really wouldn't like to lose my scrobble history) would work?

I'd appreciate any suggestion.

Currently installed Maloja version: 3.2.2 (Docker) Latest recommended Maloja version: 3.2.2

I have the same issue, it always happened like that, but no idea why.

I tried to search, and it took to answer very slowly until it was dead.

Did your errors happen also while trying to search? I found doing some testing, that while you are writing is sending a request each time you type, instead of wait until you have finished, that means that if you search something like "The Rolling Stones" it sends almost 20 requests to search. That should be easy to fix, and wait a certain amount of time before send the request.
