[HELP] Zoraxy hanging after few min. Hardware Requirements?

[rustynail1984]

Running latest version of Zoraxy in a docker container on a VPS with

• 1 cpu core
• 4 GB RAM
• 50GB NVMe
• 1 Gbps Connection

after starting and few minutes of traffic, about 20k requests zoraxy proxy hanging and the admin panel and the website loading very slow or loading forever.. after restarting docker container it works fine again for few min.

What Hardware requiremetns have zoraxy? i used HaProxy before and this VPS was enough.

@rustynail1984 I am not sure about docker but if you run it bare metal (and btw, that is why I wrote it in Golang so it run without all the docker or JIT runtime dependencies) , it should be really resources saving.

I have tested running Zoraxy on RAMNODE Standard KVM VPS with 1 vCPU core, 512MB of RAM and 15GB of SSD storage, for long term deployment in my homelab, it can handle up to 40 - 50k requests per day with a G3258 Intel CPU, 1.2GB of RAM (fast geodb mode) and < 1GB of storage from my SATA SSD.

P.S. by bare metal I mean ./zoraxy with a dedicated linux user. Not really means run it without the OS layer.

i upgraded my VPS to 2 Core and 8GB RAM and it running better now but sometimes it is still slow.

CPU Cores 100% usage while big download traffic is active.

Hey @rustynail1984 , did you enable the fast-geoIP mode? If yes, I guess you can try running Zoraxy natively instead.

[rustynail1984]

nope is disabled.

[tobychui]

@rustynail1984 Oh, you should enable that instead. The fast-gepIP mode is use for high traffic site to trade off CPU cycles to memory usage. Enabling that should solve your high CPU usage issue.

ok looks much better now. thanks.
