[squid-users] Fwd: Sqid uses all RAM / killed by OOM

Hello all,

I have now compiled and installed squid 4.17 as a transition solution on
ubuntu 22.04.

Can someone support me regarding my question about compiling squid 5.6 on
ubuntu 22.04?
Since my previous attempts also have the "memory leak" on ubuntu 22.04 and
squid 5.6 problem again.

Kind regards Ronny

Hello all,

I have the following problem with squid 5.2 on ubuntu 22.04.
Squid consumes all ram and the entire SWAP. When swap and ram are
completely full, the OOM killer strikes and terminates the process.

We use three internal child proxy servers with keepalived and haproxy as
load balancers. From our ISP we use a parent upstream proxy for external
internet traffic.
As an operating system we have so far Ubuntu 20.04.4 with squid 4.1 in use.
This constellation works flawlessly.

Now I want to update the Server to Ubuntu 22.04 and squid 5.2. But with
Ubuntu 22.04 and squid 5.2 the above mentioned problem with the OOM Killer
occurs.
The new machine has only the OS and squid installed.

Who can help me with a solution?

With kind regards
Ronny
