We are currently running GenieACS from a docker container Image. I Followed this instalation tutorial:
> **[GitHub - GeiserX/genieacs-docker: Automated configuration files for your GenieACS...](https://github.com/GeiserX/genieacs-docker)**
>
> Automated configuration files for your GenieACS deployment
My current version is: v1.2.13+2407184eca
I used docker-compose for setting up the application. Here are my enviroment variables:
```auto
- GENIEACS_UI_JWT_SECRET= ---
- GENIEACS_CWMP_ACCESS_LOG_FILE=/var/log/genieacs/genieacs-cwmp-access.log
- GENIEACS_NBI_ACCESS_LOG_FILE=/var/log/genieacs/genieacs-nbi-access.log
- GENIEACS_FS_ACCESS_LOG_FILE=/var/log/genieacs/genieacs-fs-access.log
- GENIEACS_UI_ACCESS_LOG_FILE=/var/log/genieacs/genieacs-ui-access.log
- GENIEACS_DEBUG_FILE=/var/log/genieacs/genieacs-debug.yaml
- GENIEACS_EXT_DIR=/opt/genieacs/ext
- GENIEACS_MONGODB_CONNECTION_URL=mongodb://mongo/genieacs
- GENIEACS_MAX_COMMIT_ITERATIONS=512
- GENIEACS_EXT_TIMEOUT=30000
```
I ran into the fault “too many commits iterations” after running a heavy provision script. I tried changing several times the value of GENIEACS\_MAX\_COMMIT\_ITERATIONS but the provision returned the same error at the same part of the script. It appears this doesn’t make any change.
I ran the same script in a test server that has GenieACS installed directly with npm acording to installation process in docs. The script ran into the same error until I changed GENIEACS\_MAX\_COMMIT\_ITERATIONS=64 in genieacs.env.
In my docker image, i kept falling into commits fault even with GENIEACS\_MAX\_COMMIT\_ITERATIONS=512.
After changing the evn variables in docker-compose.yml I executed docker restart.
Can any one help me with this issue.

You need to solve the actual issue. Changing the MAX\_COMMIT\_ITERATIONS to a value 16x the default is not going to work.
For the CPE in question, [enable debug logging](https://forum.genieacs.com/t/too-many-commit-iterations/238/9), then look through the values being sent to the CPE. You will find that one of the parameters is being set to a changing value.
