Nifi won't start on HDF 3.1

dale_preston — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 12:18:04 GMT

Nifi gets to 67% loaded in about 60 seconds. As shown in attached image, it is still at 67% 22 minutes later. Last log entry was at one minute into the starting process. 22 minutes later, no progress and no new log entries. Tail of the two logs are also attached. Any ideas?

Side note for your web team, this should allow upload of .log files. Had to change to .txt to upload.

I dropped Docker and went back to Virtual box. The Virtual Box sandbox works properly. The Docker image was clearly defective, showing many CRIT alarms in Ambari that have dates older than the sandbox image which makes me think that the image was deployed with a bunch of pre-existing errors. The Virtual Box sandbox image has none of those CRIT errors.

Docker seems to be very dependent on various of docker and requires lot of memory.

Thanks for the reply. Can you tell any specifics of "various of docker"? And how much memory when you say lot of memory?
