I ran into ElementsProject/lightning#7763 while updating our nixbitcoin.org node.
This has also been reported to our repo before: #747.
I'll later add a more detailed bug report to the clightning issue.

Summary: clightning creates an oversized gossip_store file (8.5 GiB in our case) which gets processed with gossip_store_compact during startup. This takes > 20 min, causing a systemd service startup timeout.

This issue is pretty annoying because the cause for clightning hanging at startup is not visible to the user. The logs show no relevent info.
And with default systemd startup timeouts clightning enters an infinite timout-restart loop.

Maybe we should pin clightning to the previous version (i.e. nixpkgs-stable) for now, including hints how to switch to the latest version.

Thanks!

Does that help? According to the issues, v24.8.1 is affected as well. What would be the downside of temporarily increasing the startup timeout?

Ah, you're right. Let's go ahead with merging then.
