Hi,

While you still have the journal log, can you check for a race condition ?

# journalctl  | grep popul | grep service

(it looks like #1052053)

Hello Martin-Éric,

Does it happen every time or it is just this time ?
Do you have files /var/log/popularity-contest.* ?

Sorry for the trouble!

Cheers,

Hello Martin-Éric,

Did you find you what happened ? Did it happen again ?
Was /var/log/ full ? Are there two containers instance sharing the same /var/log by mistake.

Cheers,
