[Tip] Docker user? Consider disabling Docker-proxy

    I have some docker containers interacting with each other. Saw often 'docker-proxy' using a lot of CPU. After disabling, not only the process is gone, also other processes are more smooth. including kodi.bin!

    Curious about others experience. Mileage may vary.


    Edit this file:

    Code
    /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.system.docker/config/docker.conf

    and add '--userland-proxy=false'.

    Code
    DOCKER_DAEMON_OPTS="--data-root=/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.system.docker/docker --userland-proxy=false"
DOCKER_STORAGE_OPTS="--storage-driver=overlay2 --storage-opt overlay2.override_kernel_check=1"

    Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about, I've had 18 docker services running for a long time on LE 9.2.6-x86_64 as a 24/7 server, and I never (*) had the problem you describe. Check your containers.

    (*) Only once, I installed a container that was abusing disk storage space that was not freed up, but it was a very old container that I replaced with a newer one. The problem was immediately fixed by the cleanup and removal mechanism of the LE 'docker' addon. To see this I look at the size of the automatic backups that run every three days. I also occasionally use the 'cputemp', 'gputemp' and 'sensors' commands to check that the temperature stays below 45 degrees.

    Cheers! Thanks for your insights. Do note, I'm not arguing that this is a fix for all. I'm saying that in my particular case, I was observing high CPU use from docker-proxy. Disabling it in userland allows iptables to take over which in my case led to better load stats.
