One 1080p transcode = ~2GB RAM, one 4K transcode = ~4GB+ and you'll CPU-throttle. With 4GB total you're looking at direct play only, or single 1080p transcode with everything else stripped down. No QuickSync on these CPUs so it's all software.

Lessons from this thread so far:
1. Principle of least privilege applies to automation, not just humans.
2. /tmp as tmpfs without size limits is a known failure mode since Linux 3.x.

--deploy-hook and --post-hook

Entropy pool is dry
That tracks. My entropy_avail was 187 when I checked this morning. Installed rng-tools5, will monitor.
But the double spawn is still unexplained. Cron should not fire twice.
