Hello
I have been running several containers on my LinuxServer setup (Docker + Portainer) & recently I have noticed that some containers restart randomly without logging a clear error.
The strange part is that resource usage seems stable & there’s no obvious crash pattern. ![]()
I have checked docker logs but the output doesn’t give a clear explanation about the restarts. Also checked Troubleshoot and diagnose | Docker Docs guide for reference. I was even considering testing a ChatGPT Agent to automatically parse logs & highlight potential issues but I am not sure if that would help in this case.
I would like to know if anyone else has faced this kind of issue and how you diagnosed the root cause.
Is it more likely related to container health checks, underlying hardware stability / maybe kernel-level issues?
Any step-by-step debugging strategies would be greatly appreciated.
Since many of us rely on stable containers for services like Plex, Nextcloud / databases, this kind of issue can be disruptive.
If you’ve found reliable methods to trace why containers restart unexpectedly, please share them so we can avoid downtime in production / homelab setups.
Thank you !! ![]()
