Symptoms
Need to increase the Stack Size; 'ulimit -s'. Increase the permitted number of stack size per thread for the Bamboo user and/or whole system. These setting may vary between operating systems, so you may need to talk to your system administrator or do your own research. We'll describe the most common approach to troubleshooting and fixing this problem.
Resolution based on the limits.conf file
To check the permitted stack size per thread, run ulimit -s
To modify the permitted stack size per thread, edit /etc/security/limits.conf and add (replacing Bamboo_USER with the name of the user running Bamboo or * for all users):
1
2
Bamboo_USER soft stack 40000
Bamboo_USER hard stack 40000
Solution when installed as a systemd service
When Bamboo is installed as a systemd service you may need to update the service unit file as described below.
If you are sure Bamboo is running as a systemd service, go straight to Step 2.
Check if Bamboo is configured as a systemd service. This helps to identify if this is the case and the service name, in case you are not sure.
1grep -i bamboo/etc/systemd/system/*.service /lib/systemd/system/*.serviceIn this example, the name of our service is bamboo
.service, which is the name of the unit file itself and is located in the standard folder/etc/systemd/system.Edit the service unit file (
/etc/systemd/system/bamboo.servicein our example) and add the following line.1LimitSTACK=40000Reboot the server.
