Strapi keeps crashing

Hi,

I’m not sure what changed, but my latest Strapi deployment keeps crashing after a few seconds. It was working fine before. The only recent changes I made were:

• Adding an API key

• Removing a domain name (the DNS changes didn’t propagate correctly, so I’ve been using the generated URL instead)

I tried rolling back to a previous deployment, but the error still persists. Interestingly, when I run the project locally, I can connect to the database—but only after restarting the service(Postgres) .

Here are the relevant logs and my project ID:

[2025-08-07 10:45:18.769] http: GET /admin (17 ms) 200

Stopping Container

npm error path /app

npm error command failed

npm error signal SIGTERM

npm error command sh -c strapi start

npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: /root/.npm/_logs/2025-08-07T10_45_14_469Z-debug-0.log

Stopping Container

Project ID: 13568bb9-cd4a-4446-9229-236fc5d1376a

Would appreciate any guidance on what might be causing this. Thanks!

Are you sure you set all the env variables: "NODE_ENV=production

APP_KEYS=key1,key2,key3,key4

JWT_SECRET=your-long-random

ADMIN_JWT_SECRET=your-long-random

API_TOKEN_SALT=your-long-random

"; And then used them like this in the config/server.js: "

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({

host: '0.0.0.0',

port: env.int('PORT', 1337),

url: env('PUBLIC_URL'),

app: { keys: env.array('APP_KEYS') },

});";
