Can someone take a look and see if anything is causing this? I tried restart samba and turning of Docker. tower-diagnostics-20251203-1822.zip Any help would be appreciated.

Looking through your syslog, there are a couple of clear things going on:

1. The system thinks it’s shutting down, but never actually does.
   The logs show Unraid receiving a shutdown/reboot command and starting the process, but there’s no sign of an actual poweroff or reboot sequence afterward. At some point you’re clearly holding the power button, because on the next boot Unraid reports an “unclean shutdown detected.” That’s a strong sign the OS never finished shutting down on its own.

2. There’s definitely something up with Docker.
   The syslog shows errors with the Docker image (it’s already attached to a loop device and can’t be mounted properly). Whether that is the root cause of the shutdown issue is unclear, but it’s definitely not healthy and worth fixing.

So, a few things to try:

1. Test shutdown with Docker and VMs disabled

   • Stop all running Docker containers and VMs.

   • Then go into Settings and disable Docker and disable the VM service completely.

   • After that, try a shutdown/reboot from the GUI.

   • If it now powers off cleanly, the culprit is usually something related to Docker, a container, or a VM.

2. Try Safe Mode (no plugins)

   • Look up how to boot Unraid into Safe Mode (no plugins).

   • Once in Safe Mode, try shutting down again.

   • If it shuts down cleanly in Safe Mode, that points to one of your plugins as the likely cause.

3. Try shutting down from the local console

   • Plug in a keyboard and monitor.

   • Log in as root on the console.

   • Run poweroff (or powerdown depending on your version).

   • Watch the messages on screen as it tries to shut down. Sometimes errors show up on the console that never make it into syslog, and those can give you more hints about what’s hanging.

4. Clean up the Docker image issue (after the above tests)

   • Since the syslog shows Docker image errors, consider recreating the Docker image once you’ve tested the above.

   • Fixing that may or may not solve the shutdown problem by itself, but it’s still something that should be cleaned up.

In short: your logs show the system wants to shut down but never completes the process, which leads you to force power it off. Docker is definitely misbehaving, and either it, a VM, or a plugin is the most likely suspect. The steps above should help narrow down which.

Good luck.

Thanks. I will do so and report back.
