!Friendica Support - Hi, Hallo - I am quite a newbie when it comes to admining a friendica instance.
I'm running Friendica, version 2026.01. The database version is 1586/1586, the post update version is 1550/1550.
I'm having some peformance issues with my friendica instance - specificically [pool friendica] server reached max_children setting (12) -
I've increase memory limit in /etc/php/8.4/fpm/php.ini to 512M - as in earlier versons this seemed to fix performance issues but that hasn't resolved things. I also increased the max_children setting to 24 in /etc/php/8.4/fpm/pool.d/friendica.conf but this has not improved things. I suspect that this is not the underling cause as I am also seeing errors such as :
[24-May-2026 08:55:16] NOTICE: [pool friendica] child 184612 exited with code 0 after 896.680478 seconds from start
[24-May-2026 08:55:16] NOTICE: [pool friendica] child 186294 started
[24-May-2026 08:55:17] NOTICE: [pool friendica] child 184606 exited with code 0 after 898.334926 seconds from start
The errors seem to be triggered when users view pages on friendica server - (its only used by one or two people)
So my current thought is that for some reason I am getting child processes that are doing database queries maybe that are timing out? I'm not sure how to diagnose that.
Any thoughts ?
