node.js completely hogs pi 1, unusable from web ui

Hi,

After about an hour or so of playing webradio, node.js takes up about 90% of CPU usage, leaving my system completely unusable from the web UI (it takes too long to load, i’ve been waiting for 15 minutes as of now and it’s still loading). I’m using a Raspberry Pi1 B+ overclocked to 950 mhz, and I only have YouTube and last.fm as plugins and a 3.2 inch screen running X and a ~3K python script showing date and time on it. The rest is vanilla volumio.

I’ve sent a log file using the dev section as explained in the appropriate manual and I’m opening this thread in case I can get any input or help to resolve the issue.

Thanks in advance.

hello again,

my installation completely gave up. I know that it boots up to a certain degree because my gpio display will run my clock app, but the volumio2 UI will simply not work anymore. it stays hogging up 100% of the CPU all the time, never slowing down, and i’m unable to use the system without ssh’ing to it. there is no volumio.log in /var/log, i can’t debug the system anymore.

I would really appreciate some help. :confused:

I suspect this comes down to the raw power (or lack of it) of the Pi1. Personally, I would try a Volumio installation alone, without any plugins and see how it behaves. You could then add the plugins individually and monitor their effect.

You can monitor system logs in real time from ssh with “sudo journalctl -f”, but this probably isn’t going to tell you much.

Good luck, and let us know how you get on.
