In order to learn, what makes you say that? Which log / error message please?

They are all album covers from many different albums, so either created by Lidarr or "MyMedia For Alexa". As I can't find anyone else having the problem with Lidarr, and can't see any activity for the albums concerned around the time that they were created, I'm guessing it's down to "MyMedia For Alexa", so I've uninstalled that for now. Thanks for your help

Wow, thanks for spotting that. Maybe that's the source of all of my problems! I'll take a look.

Thanks, but the problem is I can't access the server via the GUI, console or SSH :-(

My server sometimes becomes unresponsive via the web gui, and times out when logging in to the console (I type the username, but it times out before the password prompt appears) I have been pressing the shutdown button on the server, which usually does a clean shutdown. Last night I intitiated a shutdown using this method but got these errors: Starting diagnostics collection ... sh: line 1: /mickey-diagnostics-20251107-2236/system/top.txt: No such file or sh: line 1: /mickey-diagnostics-20251107-2236/unraid-7.1.4.txt: No such file or directory sh: line 1: /mickey-diagnostics-20251107-2236/system/lscpu.txt: No such file or directory sh: line 1: /mickey-diagnostics-20251107-2236/system/lsscsi.txt: No such file or directory sh: line 1: /mickey-diagnostics-20251107-2236/system/lspci.txt: No such file or directory sh: line 1: /mickey-diagnostics-20251107-2236/system/aspm-status.txt: No such file or directory sh: line 1: /mickey-diagnostics-20251107-2236/system/lsusb.txt: No such file or directory sh: line 1: /mickey-diagnostics-20251107-2236/system/memory.txt: No such file or directory sh: line 1: /mickey-diagnostics-20251107-2236/system/lsof.txt: No such file or directory sh: line 1: /mickey-diagnostics-20251107-2236/system/lsmod.txt: No such file or directory sh: line 1: /mickey-diagnostics-20251107-2236/system/df.txt: No such file or directory sh: line 1: /mickey-diagnostics-20251107-2236/system/motherboard.txt: No such file or directory I initiated the shutdown at 22:36 but by 01:30 the serve still hadn't shutdown so I had to hit the power button. Any suggestions as to what caused the above errors please, and also what may be causing the unresponsiveness? Syslog is set to save to /cache/logs and not mirrored to flash Diagnostics attached I hope I have fixed the NUT error "nut_libusb_get_interrupt: Input/Output Error" this morning by setting it to "pollonly" mickey-diagnostics-20251108-1235.zip

On 8/26/2025 at 10:06 AM, Michael_P said: Your container is hitting the memory limit and being killed, and the system is reporting that Runps -auxf > ps.txt to pipe it to a file (run within a share path so it will create the file there) that will show you what is launching the python process that's causing the issue. Expand to Edit I haven't had the problem for 2 weeks now, so haven't needed to run this command. The only thing different, is that I haven't run the ollama and open webui containers so I'm guessing the problem lies somewhere there. Thanks for the help

That's the annoying thing, why is it so difficult for a user to find the cause of a problem? To say there's a python process causing a problem isn't much use when so many containers use python.

A windows VM that only runs Veeam backup and a Home Assistant VM. I thought it was the frigate container causing the problems using tmpfs, so I stopped using tmpfs, and began writing to an SSD instead. I have run into the python issue before, but I can't track down where it's coming from. I've installed Beszel, thanks for the heads up

I keep getting Out of memory errors, and have had them intermittently since installing Unraid a year ago. This results in the server being unresponsive, and not able to shutdown cleanly. I have limited the memory on all of the containers, and it still happens. It's getting to the stage where I'm considering moving back to Truenas, or even Windows. Am I being ambitious with the number of containers I'm running? Do I need more than 64GB of RAM for the task? Please help me fix this once and for all. TIA mickey-diagnostics-20250823-1133.zip

Thanks, but how do I know which container is running the python instance please?

Hi, I'm receiving out of memory errors. The syslog shows: "Memory cgroup out of memory: Killed process 31086 (python)". I'm trying to understand if this is a specific docker container causing this, a plugin, or something else. Alan mickey-diagnostics-20250730-1621.zip

Thank you, it's already limited to 2gb, I'll increase it. Merry Christmas

Hi, Happy Holidays. I am running into "Out of Memory" errors, I'd be grateful for any help / advice. Thanks Alan mickey-diagnostics-20241224-1243.zip

Thankyou, seems to have done the trick

Any way of making it persistent?

Thanks added --oom-kill-disable now I've also disabled a wifi camera that looks like it has a spotty connection. I've also cut down the number of cameras being processed by go-rtc We'll see how it goes, any idea why nchan_shared_memory_size 512M; keeps disappearing?

Thanks, it's already limited to 1GB

I keep getting out of memory errors I add: nchan_shared_memory_size 512M; to /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, but it keeps disappearing Does it get overwritten on reboot? Do I need to add it to the flash drive somewhere? Thanks in advance Alan mickey-diagnostics-20240921-1043.zip mickey-syslog-20240921-1004.zip

Thank you, they are all settings that I've enabled before, but for some reason, it looks like they got wiped when I built a new flash drive after changing it following previous crashes. Sorry, still relatively new to Unraid (a couple of months), I thought I had restored everything. Alan

My server has become unresponsive, I was unable to access the webgui from my pc. and when trying to login locally, after entering the username, it took a minute or so for the password prompt to appear, by which time the login process timed out. So the only option available was to power off the server. Any ideas please? Alan mickey-diagnostics-20240823-1642.zip

Thanks all sorted now.

Hi, my server became inaccessible via the gui, so I rebooted it. It then refused to boot, showing the message "invalid boot signature 0x85df" As this has happened once before, I created a new flash drive, on a different USB stick, using the last flash backup that was created and uploaded to unraid connect With the included backup, the server booted, but I could not access the gui from my PC, or the server itself. So, I created the flash drive again, but with no included backup. What is the best course of action to take, to avoid setting everything up again, please? I have been using the appdata backup plugin, so is it a combination of copying files from the USB backup and restoring the appdata backups? If so, which files and folders do I need to copy over? TIA, Alan

I had the same issue, I had to remove numbers and underscores for the disk to show up.
