Thankyou also for your response! I have just realised tho that I missed capturing the diagnostics! To be honest, I don't quite understand how to obtain that, especially if I should do it as the server crashes to cover that timespan? I always get totally locked out of any WebUI, and when I connect my monitor to the Unraid PC, it is just a blank screen. Tapping (not holding) the power button often brings back the text that appears when Unraid first boots, but then it just attempts to shutdown. My server crashed about 10 mins ago, and I did however just manage to capture the syslogs~ I believe I have done it correctly...! I have had a crash now for 3 days in a row. Seems like its having a very bad run at the minute. And just to clarify, with sending files, do you mean create a new post in a reply like this, or in a totally new forum post? Supplying the syslog file from my flash drive here! syslog - Copy.txt EDIT: So my server crashed for the second time this evening - literally like 5 hours apart. Here is the 2nd syslog from the crash just now. Maybe there are some other details? syslog

Thankyou for your reply! I never mentioned but for the record I am running Unraid v7.0.0 now, but this issue began on the previous v6.12.10 I believe it was? I ran a couple Memtests86+ (v6.20) via the Unraid startup menu. Both tests have reported 0 errors. I ran the first quickly. I let it do 3 passes, which showed a 'Pass' and reported 0 errors. Just for the record- I then, based on something I read, simply swapped my RAM sticks positions, i.e. swapped the two sticks over A2 to B2 and B2 to A2, still adhering to the population order marking on the X570 MOBO. I read somewhere this was one of those strange random things that magically fixed an issue for someone so I thought why not. Then last night, I started a 2nd Memtest86+ again via Unraid startup menu, and left this overnight. When I returned this morning, I had a 'Pass' screen, and again with 0 errors reported. It had completed 8 passes. Here are pictures I took of the screen after returning to this run. I shall have a look at diagnostics & syslogs when I get a spare moment! So now that I have completed this, is this definitive evidence that my RAM is not the issue? What else can I do to diagnose? What are we thinking now?

This has been a long-standing issue I've had with my Unraid server- honestly for probably like 6 months now. I have just kept putting off having to deal with it because I do not have a clue where to start ! Basically, my Unraid server was running absolutely fine for the better part of a few months, until I started to notice that my server will crash hard~ i.e. all services stop- Docker, VMs etc, and worst is there is no access to the WebUI, like the page simply does not load - and my only fix is to walk over to the PC running Unraid and hold down the power button 'til it shuts off, and then power back up. At the start, I could tell when it was happening, as some services would grind to a halt, and I could quickly get a glimpse at the Unraid WebUI/Dashboard before it all froze and I couldn't access it anymore. The CPU utilization would always be hammered at 100%, with all cores full and red. Now I feel like I just don't even get chance to check the Dashboard, or run htop or check Glances (Docker), and the server just dies and I cannot get onto the Unraid WebUI. This of course then means I just have to hard reboot. The frequency of these crashes varies. I cannot say there is anything significant/regular happening at the time it occurs. Sometimes it can crash twice within a day or couple days between. For as long as I can remember now, I do not think I have gone longer than 5 days without a crash. This is bearable when I'm at home, and I can do the hard reboot (I mean it's not great of course, it needs fixing), but there have been times where I was away from home for a while and my server crashed while I was gone, so I loose access to all my files, my Docker services and my VMs~ since the only fix is to physically press the button on the PC ! I've tried to scour online but I can't seem to find anything that matches my issue all that well. I read about the macvlan bug? But as far as I know that was completely fixed in Unraid v6.12.4, and I do not want to mess around with my Docker settings more than I need to, so I don't break anything extra. So honestly I have not tried much yet. For the record the server is built from parts from my old gaming PC (just thinking RAM issues or something?). I have a 512 GB cache drive. Not sure if that is maybe the culprit ? As I say though, it worked perfectly fine for months, until these crashes started happening. Is it likely to be hardware related? My guess would be that if there was a hardware problem causing it, I would have had the issue from the beginning, not have it work fine then the issue pops up. As a lot of this is very out of my scope of knowledge - I know just enough to keep my server running and doing what I want it to do - if there are any logs or things to try that could help diagnose this issue, please let me know and I will try to get whatever diagnostic stuffs you need. Just let me know what would help work this out. I fear for the longevity of my hardware as I am force powering off at least twice a week, if not more.

Alrighty so, I have FINALLY set up my very first home server running unRAID, and I am just in the process of getting everything all set up. FYI I am a super new user to all this it is literally baby's first home server rn. I am pretty much learning everything as I go. I have the server set up and running. I am in the process of transferring data across to it, as well as setting up services like immich and Jellyfin. A big reason that I always wanted this home server was to access my files while away from home. I do photography, and there are always pictures and just random files I wanna access while out and about, so this seemed like it'd be perfect. I had the notion that I would be able to remote into my server by connecting to my home network via a VPN. I have followed multiple tutorials now but I just CANNOT get it to work. And since I am so new and inexperienced with this, it's hard to pinpoint where I am going wrong. I have tried to configure my ISP/router network settings, port forwarding and all that (TalkTalk Amazon Eero), but it's all done via the app and I find it super not very intuative so not sure if I have gone wrong there. I have also set up duck dns as per the tutorials as well as WireGuard. It is just- when I activate the VPN, I am not connected to anything. I cannot access Google on my phone to check my IP, and attempting to connect to my server via the iOS Files app doesn't work - which it does work fine when simply on WiFi on my phone. So could anyone point me in some direction here or have any suggestions on how I could get this to work / where I might be going wrong ? I honestly thought this would be so much more of a breeze that it is seemingly being at the moment..!! (the main tutorial I have been following. I understand that the WireGuard app is now built in, and I have found those settings in the VPN manager)
