Troubleshooting

PocketBase instance failed to launch

PocketHost tried to launch the PocketBase instance, but it exited with a failure before it even got started. Failing migrations are a common cause of this error. Check your instance logs in the PocketHost dashboard, and if there is a failing migration, remove it via SFTP.

First request is slow

The instance was hibernated and is starting up. This is normal. See How PocketHost Works.

429 Too Many Requests

You hit a rate limit. Check the X-PocketHost-RateLimit-* response headers to see which one. See Limits and Trusted IPs.

Scheduled cronAdd jobs don’t run

cronAdd only fires while the instance is awake. Use Webhooks instead.
