📝 Describe your problem

I just restarted my server and was curious about a 100 % CPU usage by PM2 and and node.

So I first upgraded from v1.12.0 and then restarted Uptime Kuma via pm2 restart /opt/uptime-kuma/server/server.js --name uptime-kuma and now the services doesn’t start anymore.

The console output is:

pm2 restart /opt/uptime-kuma/server/server.js --name uptime-kuma
Use --update-env to update environment variables

Usually it starts a second process.

If I look into pm2 monit, it sells me: [SERVER] ERROR: Error: Cannot find ‘dist/index.html’, did you install correctly?

Since it tries to restart every second, this would explain the high CPU usage.

If I start the server via node server/server.js it works fine.

I just looked into the server/server.js file and noticed that process.cwd() returns /opt/uptime-kuma if I start it via node but /opt/uptime-kuma/server if I start it via pm2. So I think it has something to do with this but I’m not that into nodejs to be sure. Thus I hope to get help on this.

I just reinstalled pm2 including removing its config from ~/.pm2/ and now it works fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you for helping me out, though!

Hmm, odd. Can you try running the install script in a directory that doesn’t require root priviledges i.e users home dir or perhaps doing the manual install https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/wiki/🔧-How-to-Install#-without-docker-recommended-for-x86x64-only instead of the install script
