Hey @jedie - i get the same error. I am building from python:3.6-alpine as well. My ENV and CMD in Dockerfile looks like this..

ENV UWSGI_WSGI_FILE=base/wsgi.py UWSGI_HTTP=:8000 UWSGI_MASTER=1 UWSGI_WORKERS=2 UWSGI_THREADS=8 UWSGI_UID=1000 UWSGI_GID=2000

CMD ["uwsgi", "--http-auto-chunked", "--http-keepalive", "--static-map", "/media/=/code/media/", "--static-map", "/static/=/code/static/"]

I am a bit worried of using this in a PRODUCTION environment.

I switched to 3.6-slim-stretch as a "work-a-round"...

Also getting this all of a sudden too.

18/07/2018 12:46:08DAMN ! worker 1 (pid: 75) died, killed by signal 11 :( trying respawn ...
18/07/2018 12:46:08Respawned uWSGI worker 1 (new pid: 80)

I found that switching the uwsgi config to only one thread makes this go away. Here is my uwsgi config (from Dockerfile)..

ENV UWSGI_WSGI_FILE=base/wsgi.py UWSGI_HTTP=:8000 UWSGI_MASTER=1 UWSGI_WORKERS=8 UWSGI_UID=1000 UWSGI_GID=2000 UWSGI_TOUCH_RELOAD=touch-reload.txt UWSGI_LAZY_APPS=1 UWSGI_WSGI_ENV_BEHAVIOR=holy

I can confirm that configuring it to use one thread and this goes away.

I'm also seeing this on python:3.6-alpine3.7. Works with threads = 1, random 502s from signal 11s with threads = 2.

python:3.7-alpine3.8 did not help but switching to python:3.7-slim-stretch did. Would prefer to use alpine but this will be our workaround for now.

Hi, I also encountered the same problem. When I run flask uwsgi to call keras (using tensorflow backend) object detection API, an error “DAMN ! worker 1 （pid: 5240）died, killed by signal 11:（trying respawn……）”. Then I try to use only one thread, but it doesn't work. Instead, another error occurs which is " !!!uWSGI process 347 got Segmentation Fault!!!". My configuration file is as follows:

Can anyone give me some helps? Thanks !

I ran into a similar issue, though for me segfaults were traced down to anything that tried to use ssl (e.g. to talk to a remote API). Changing to stretch-slim seemed to resolve the issue.

Just wanted to note I ran across this issue with python3.6:alpine-3.8 but it was solved with python3.6:alpine-3.9, using uwsgi==2.0.17.1

I'm still getting this using uwsgi 2.0.18 on alpine 3.7.. Others still having the same problem?

Still having this problem, is there a way to make uwsgi exit if this happens, I have my service configured to restart on fail.

Better than being in an inconsistent state, running but not alive

I'm using

:»  uwsgi --version

Can confirm that switching to Alpine 3.9 fixed that problem for me. I had the same symptoms, completely out of the blue.

One of the most significant changes in 3.9 is the return to OpenSSL (from LibreSSL), I can imagine how changing such a foundational library could make a difference. It's also completely possible that there is a looming bug somewhere in my software that is no longer triggered due to the different underlying libraries.

I also meet this problem

Python 3.7.2
uwsgi --version
2.0.18

I also meet this problem. (But strangely, in alpine 3.9)
Base image : python:3.6.8-alpine3.9
uwsgi --version : 2.0.18
but switching threads=1 helps to solve the issue.

Getting the same with python:3.6.8-alpine3.9 and uwsgi==2.0.15

Seems to get fixed by increasing uwsgi's thread-stacksize to 512. Now rolling with 2 or more threads without workers dying.

In my case, I turn off the option "enable-threads".
I'm not sure if this experience will help you.

Python version: 3.6.7 , uWSGI 2.0.18 (64bit)

Any update on this issue? I have also ran in to the same issue with uWSGI --version 2.0.18 and python:3.6 image.

Same issue with python:3.7-alpine-3.9. I had to switch to a different distro: debian.

I think this error is due to uswgi config. For my Django projects, I have been using Docker (based on python:3.7-alpine) in production with no issues. Below are my Dockerfile, docker-entrypoint.sh and uswgi.ini files - which were borrowed and inspired by other online articles and research. Hope this helps other folks.

Same problem here, using debian:buster image as a base and Python 3.7. I tried both values of enable-threads and a few others settings but it still breaks. Weird enough, the very same Docker image runs normally on my computer, but gives this obscure error on our Kubernetes cluster, so I suspect it has something to do with the kernel or the network.

I noticed that Python 3.7 is not among the officially supported ones, so I downgraded to Python 3.5 but the error manifests nonetheless.

@jacopofar I too am getting the same error on kubernetes but not when I run locally. My image is based on https://github.com/dockerfiles/django-uwsgi-nginx

@jacopofar , @asherp, @aliashkar - any chance there is a stacktrace in the logs before the "killed by signal 11" line and could paste it here?

It would also be very helpful if you could reveal some information about your apps: Are you by any chance using psycopg2 2.7.x wheels and/or other Python wheels that ship their own libssl?

It appears there's a known issue with wheels that include their own libssl (or other libs) - see #1569 and #1590 (also this: http://initd.org/psycopg/articles/2018/02/08/psycopg-274-released/)

@awelzel I tried to reproduce but cannot get it anymore ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I don't remember any additional stacktrace, it only printed that message. This is my requirements.txt for that version:

uwsgi==2.0.18
boto3==1.9.67
pytest==5.2.2
pytest-cov==2.8.1
flake8==3.7.9
pandas==0.25.2
plotly==4.2.1
psycopg2-binary==2.8.3
sqlalchemy==1.2.15
dash==1.5.1
dash_auth==1.3.2
dash-bootstrap-components==0.7.2
requests==2.22.0
pyarrow==0.15.1

I'm not aware of any embedded libssl except for psycopg2, sorry for not being able to provide more details :/

Getting the same with python:3.6.8-alpine3.9 and uwsgi==2.0.15

Seems to get fixed by increasing uwsgi's thread-stacksize to 512. Now rolling with 2 or more threads without workers dying.

It also apparently solved my use case. Is there a way to track uwsgi stack memory consumption to be sure that it happens for out of memory reason ?

the same error occurred when i try to run a job with frequet http requests.
i guess the error should due to long timeout.
i solved it by setting much bigger harakiri value in uwsgi.ini，then it's working well.

I'm still getting this using uwsgi 2.0.18 on alpine 3.7.. Others still having the same problem?

I met this issue at the same env

@jacopofar I too am getting the same error on kubernetes but not when I run locally. My image is based on https://github.com/dockerfiles/django-uwsgi-nginx

I almost tried every single thing explained here. Still exactly same error occurred due to uwsgi server. This is specifically for a particular flask endpoint whenever I deployed to k83 cluster and worked perfectly in dev machine.
Surprisingly, requesting more resource fixed the issue.

resources:
  limits:
    memory: 1Gi
  requests:
    memory: 512Mi

I have also encountered this problem. my uwsgi version is 2.0.18 . and threads per worker sets to 6
This is my analysis:
one thread ended request and called uwsgi_close_request,
and in uwsgi_close_request, it founds the worker's delta_requests reached max_requests, then it calls goodbye_cruel_world, cursed the worker and then calls simple_goodbye_cruel_world, in simple_goodbye_cruel_world wait for threads end。
However, there is a thread processing a time-consuming problem, but it is not actually stuck. And So after a reload-mercy time(for me it's 60s）, in uwsgi_master_check_mercy, it directly killed this worker."

I wonder if there is a more graceful way to handle this, for example, in simple_goodbye_cruel_world, set manage_next_request to zero before wait_for_threads ,thus stop receive requests.then in uwsgi_master_check_mercy wait for the threads to end befor killing it with signal 9. if the worker really stucsk , it can be killed by harakiri

So far, upping threads from 1 to 4 seems to have helped for me.

I seem to have a similar issue.

alpine 3.17.5, uwsgi 2.0.22 and python 3.10.13

compiling uwsgi on alpine and copying it in my app container.
The django app works for GET requests, but when I try to do some POST requests, it fails with the segfault.

• setting threads from 1 to 4 did not help
• disabling threads did not help
• giving it lots of resources did not help

Everything works locally on macOS/arm64. It fails in our linux/amd64 kubernetes cluster.

I am also facing similar issue with alpine 3.17.5, uwsgi 2.0.22 and python 3.10.13.

But my application works fine with lower verion python 3.9 alpine3.15. Tried all the above suggestions but no luck
