Error 500: Unable to access retool server

Hi,

Last week while working with Retool server, we saw the Error 500 and the server was inaccessible for a couple of mins.

On checking the log, we saw this


Just restarting the docker didn't really help and we had to restart the server, VM and then docker again and finally that fixed the issue.

Could you let us know what could be the issue here ?

Hi @Anjali_S,

From looking at the url, it looks like we are running Retool either locally or on a VM, these errors are coming from your server.

The error:
"could not write temporary statistics file "pg_stat/db_1XXXXX.tmp: No space left on device", shows that we've ran out of storage. If we're running this locally, and using Docker Desktop, it may just be a matter of increasing the virtual disk limit:

If this is running on a VM, we'll need to increase the storage limit on that machine.

From our docs:
"Retool recommends allocating at least 60GB of storage when you set up a new Retool instance. If you're migrating an existing instance, you might need more space."
