I have found a workaround for this issue. The root cause is probably something in the pyDal connector or psycopg2 or threading. I leave the finding of that to the experts.
The workaround is to add code to gluon/scheduler.py to test the connection before the rest of the Scheduler.send_heartbeat() function is executed. If the connection-test fails, a new one is set up: Insert this code at the top of the Scheduler.send_heartbeat() function if self.db_thread: # BKR 20180612 check if connection still works, if not -> throw away self.db_thread and force reconnect try: x = self.db_thread(self.db_thread.scheduler_worker.worker_name == self.worker_name).select() except self.db_thread._adapter.connection.OperationalError: self.db_thread = None With this addition, the scheduler works okay.
