This is kind of strange and I haven’t dug super deep into it but here goes.

It seems like the new (1.0.4) backend eats about 5GB of ram a second until it crashes, only to restart and do the same again over and over again. My log file is about 1MB. I have ~20GB free on the system and it takes about 4-5 seconds from container start to container exit (137). I’m not entirely sure what could be causing this, here is my compose file:

```yaml
dashboard-backend:
    image: ghcr.io/hhftechnology/traefik-log-dashboard-backend:1.0.5@​sha256:dee2ef4d2ffd074ca107d765db74336b11c38b99b62aecbb9c2d971b56e20f11
