Webmin process is always 100% cpu. Process /usr/share/webm is always at 93-100% (one core). Sometimes appear more than one instance and each one eating 90-100% of a core. So i have to restart webmin to free resources. Always have, at least, one core dedicated to webmin.
SO is debian stretch
Does this happen even when you're not accessing webmin in your browser?
Hi Jamie,
Yes, i restart webmin and after that check top and is already there. I think could be related to letsencrypt? Im unable to get a new certificate for one of my websites, it start to retrieve it but never finish. When trying to get again it creates another thread at 100%. Could be possible?
SSL shouldn't be related if the CPU load is high even when you're not using Webmin.
What type of system are you running Webmin on there?
Problem is related to let'sencrypt module. I have a problem with one of my virtualservers and I cant generate certificate correctly.
Script seems to be in an infinite loop, no erros, can be running for hours at 90-100% cpu.
In browser only appears this: "Requesting a certificate for cloud.exampleserver.com from Let's Encrypt .."
If i reload the page script is kept running in background. If i try to run the script eight time (number of cores of my CPU) it overloads my server. I have to restart webmin to destroy the processes or detroy them one by one. But one core is always at 100% after restarting and im pretty sure is trying to get certificate in background even after restarting webmin.
I couldnt find letsencrypt log in /var/log/letscrypt, in my old debian 7 server (also webmin-virtualmin) is there.
I get certificates for other virtual servers in the same server without problem, before and after i have discovered this problem. I dont know whats the problem because it not fail. no errors shown.
Thanks for the help
I have discovered the problem, it was related to IPv6. It was configured on domain, but not in virtualserver. I think it should have a timeout but now is resolved.
Thanks!
That Let's Encrypt bug will be fixed in the next Webmin release (1.870)
