## AI overview

A personal technical account of using Docker to run an open-source stack for a medical-sector project. After leaving the containers running for more than two weeks, the author noticed system slowness and high CPU usage, then stopped the containers.

## Source excerpt

layout: post title: So That One Time You Played with Docker for hte So that one time, at band camp - wait; wrong movie, this is a technical blog post about Docker ... I recently helped a friend doing some federal work in the medical field get a better understanding of Docker and how Docker can mess about with open source licensing. We got up a "open source" stack of tooling using a bunch of heavy weight tools: Mongo Memcached A big Python app Rabbit MQ And then, as you so often do, we finished up and I got distracted by the next bit of crazy nerd-fu that runs about in my life (server down; wifi crisis; son needing help with his PC; who can remember) and then I went back to my desk, closed my terminal prompt and never thought much more about this. Lately I've been noticing some slowness on my machine and I just happened to run docker ps and what do I see but: docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES b93fbedc58d2 data_streamer_to_sqs_ruby "ruby ./main.rb" 29 seconds ago Up 27 seconds nice_torvalds 605da7fe5159 dsarchive/dsa_girder:latest "/bin/sh -c 'sudo -E..." 2 weeks ago Up 3 hours 0.0.0.0:8080->8080/tcp dsa_girder 0b0eb7730fb0 dsarchive/dsa_worker:latest "/bin/sh -c 'sudo -E..." 2 weeks ago Up 3 hours dsa_worker df6fd902c11b memcached:latest "docker-entrypoint.s..." 2 weeks ago Up 3 hours 11211/tcp dsa_memcached dc7f57778b4e mongo:latest "docker-entrypoint.s..." 2 weeks ago Up 3 hours 27017/tcp dsa_mongodb 863768f4f33f rabbitmq:management "docker-entrypoint.s..." 2 weeks ago Up 3 hours 4369/tcp, 5671-5672/tcp, 15671-15672/tcp, 25672/tcp dsa_rabbitmq Yep. That's the whole set of processes that I was using for my federal friend. Sigh. They've been happily sucking up CPU for more than 2 weeks. grumble The solution: docker stop 863768f4f33f dc7f57778b4e df6fd902c11b 0b0eb7730fb0 605da7fe5159
