Hey there guys,

I’m a bit bummed with this. My docker PMS, which I’m running on Arch Linux, is crashing randomly after time x. As I can’t see why, I’m reaching out for help.

This is happening for the last two server versions and I’m not sure why this is happening.

If there’s anybody else with similar issues, any help is greatly appreciated.

Best

P.S.: The next time it happens I’m gonna provide the .dmp file, which is not present anymore after the last crash 😕

This is also happening to me. Upgraded to 1.40.1.8227 and started getting crashes within 10 hours.

Just FMI: Are you using a reversed proxy? And/or a dual GPU setup?

As an update: Turned out the faulty permissions of another docker compose service brought my Plex container to crash.

After adjusting the permissions of the container in question, no more crashes are happening. Solved

EDIT: No, sorry not solved yet. My Plex Docker instance still crashing after some time

I assume there’s (still) something wrong with the scanner. As soon as I run a “scan all libraries” task Plex crashes.

Anybody?

Also happening to me.  
Not on docker, but installed native on Ubuntu with the deb repository.

Crashes seem to happen semi-randomly every 8-24ish hours
