Hi.  I've been running UNRAID for 6-7 years now but I'm not really an expert on it. Never have had problems.  But recently its been 'crashing' for some reason rather frequently.  By 'crashing' I mean, no services are responding. No Dockers, no response from ping, I even hooked up a monitor to try and catch a message hitting the keyboard did not wake any screen up.  It was still blank.  The computer was still on.  

Turning the machine off and on brings it back and other then wanting to do a parity check it works fine, until it dies again.
This started on version 6.12 (I think it was) and I upgraded the OS to 7.0.1. I've updated all dockers and plugins.  I've run fix common problems.  I saw an old post about a "troubleshooting mode" for fix common problems but there was a dead link to that.

I think the first issue is that when I reboot it, the log is gone.  I do not know how to have the log save so it is viewable after a reboot.  I'm hoping that would have some info so if anyone has a way to save off the log information I'd appreciate it.  

 

I kinda "FEEL" like this might be coming from a Plex docker.  But problems in dockers shouldn't take down the whole OS as far as I know.  I don't have any true evidence for blaming plex other then I did run for a few days with plex down and it didn't crash during that time.  So mostly just a feeling.

This is a relatively recent build on the hardware, but its been running fine for maybe 4-6 months now.  These crashes are pretty recent.

 

There is one other odd problem.  The main website, as I work on the server and navigate around, the main "Dashboard" screen will go blank.  The navigation bar is still there. All the tabs work fine but there is NO content on the dashboard its just all black. I need to reboot to fix that.  I can't get to the nice icon so I need to use the terminal and reboot that way.

I know long, but wanted to include the information I have.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

 

 

Enable the syslog server and post that after a crash.

Thank you.  I will do that next. New to me so I’ll work on figuring that out.  Looks like I can use my original unraid server which I still have as a receiver of the logs.
