In syslog, I didn't see any errors or warnings but the system randomly shutdown in the past 3 months. Sometimes it just power upped and running for weeks, 6days or even hours.

 

It always begins with similar logs like:

Oct 19 08:26:05 Zhengs-Unraid init: Switching to runlevel: 0
Oct 19 08:26:05 Zhengs-Unraid init: Trying to re-exec init

then it begins to stop drives, emhttp, services, docker, VM.... Everything seems like normal power off/shutdown procedure.

 

In the past year I only change one thing that I change Docker virtual network to distribute IPv6 address to containers.

 

I only saved logs in October but the problem is the same.

Something is telling the server to shutdown, could be a plugin or a for example a badly functioning power button.

Weird. I believe this should be a hardware problem. 

 

Because I haven't changed any configurations of anything for a long time except updating plugins. All VMs remains stopped until I need it work for some time and docker containers shoule not have the permission to shutdown the host.

Are you sure there is no way the power button could accidentally be pressed (kids, cats etc) as we have seen this happening in the past.

The machine is put in a small room with door locked and is not being touched for months, so basically nope.

 

I guess it is most likely that the power on/off wires linked to motherboard are aged or just the power button is short circuited randomly.

 

I'm not at home so I told my brother to check it for sometime.
