LXC container gets killed for running out of RAM

[paul20]

My LXC container gets killed for running out of RAM. Is this a normal behaviour?
Here's syslog: https://pastebin.com/8c6t8XLF

I'm running latest Proxmox version

This is normal if you run out of RAM.

But running out of RAM is not normal...

To clarify things, the container runs out of RAM. but the host has plenty of free RAM. Shouldn't it kill the process instead of killing the whole container?

Depends on what is killed. If the first process is killed, every children is also killed, hence killing the whole container.
