A lot of the time when I'm starting up containers, - I don't have exact stats but it happens often enough to certainly notice and be troublesome and I'm unable to determine if it's when I'm starting many at once or even just one at a time as it's happened in both scenarios - my system will unexpectedly shut down. When it starts back up it says it detected an unclean shutdown. The syslogs never seem to indicate anything. I've turned on saving the syslog across boots and can't see anything in there. I recently created a script to stop containers and restart them after rsyncing the appdata directory to back them up, but the first night it ran, last night, it did the same thing and shutdown the server even though in a test during the day it worked fine.

So this doesn't happen every time containers are started but so far it has only ever happened while starting containers; never during any other normal operation or when containers are already started and running just fine.

Attached is the diagnostics, please let me know if I can provide anything else helpful in debugging this.

It actually just occurred again as I was bringing them up after the last shutdown. I brought up a compose project with eight containers in it, and then individually started my single containers one at a time, waiting for each to finish starting before trying the next, and on the fifth one it shutdown again.

Do you mean the actual server shuts down/reboots by itself?

That's correct, it just powers off and I have to go manually press the power button to get it back on.

That is almost always a hardware issue, like an overheating CPU, bad PSU, RAM, etc.

I'm currently using this beelink https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-gti13-ultra-13900hk?variant=47144139849970 along with their eGPU dock https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-ex-docking-station?variant=46659193209074

I know how I can do a memory test, is there anything specific I can do to test the CPU/PSU?

You can try running some kind of torture test, can be with another OS.

Thanks, I'll look into some options.

Tests seem to come back fine. Read some random articles about macvlan and ipvlan but I switched over to ipvlan and still get the same results there as well.

macvlan hasn't been an issue since 6.12.11, and it would not make the server restart anyway; restarts are almost always hardware related.
