August 6, 2025Aug 6 Hi, in the last few days I have started experiencing unraid unexpectedly freezing and being unable to interact with it. It has happened 3 times now I think - randomly - but usually while I'm logged in to it. When it happens I can't load the web UI, can't load the web UI of any docker applications, and DNS on my network devices stops working due to the pihole docker stopping. I can ping the server from my computer, but that's all.I noticed this issue start a few days ago after I had an issue while downloading lots of files, and the mover wasn't running frequently enough which caused my cache drive to fill up to 100%. My docker volume is a directory on the cache drive, so a few of the dockers crashed and had errors, which makes sense, but I'm not sure what's causing the instability with the operating system now.Would somebody be able to have a look at my diagnostics and try to help me figure out what's causing the problem? I had to press the restart button on the server to get it to reboot and get the diagnostics. Hopefully it didn't erase the info you need.Thankstower-diagnostics-20250806-1244.zip

August 8, 2025Aug 8 Author Solution Ok I have had another crash, and I think I worked out why it's happening. It's the same issue as my last post 😅It seems my LiteLLM container is using too much memory. I started the LiteLLM container and watched the server RAM usage go from 52% up to 96% over about 10 minutes. I confirmed with htop that LiteLLM was using all that extra RAM. After that the whole server froze the same as before and I had to reset it with the restart button.I'll have to try and figure out if there's some kind of memory leak with the container or if it's the way I've set it up, or maybe it's normal and I just need way more RAM.As a fallback, is there a way to confine a container to only use a maximum amount of RAM?I've attached the syslog anyway if you're interested.syslog-10.1.1.10.log
