How to Troubleshoot Random Container Restarts in Docker on LinuxServer

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. :innocent:The strange part is that resource usage seems stable & there’s no obvious crash pattern. :upside_down_face:

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. :thinking:Is it more likely related to container health checks, underlying hardware stability / maybe kernel-level issues? :thinking: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. :innocent: 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 !! :slightly_smiling_face:
