Plex Media Server randomly crashing twice a day (or more)

Server Version#: 1.41.8.9834-071366d65
Player Version#: 4.146.0 (I think)?

Hi there! Sorry if I’m not doing this correctly - it’s my first time on this forum.
I have used my plex media server (on mac computers, first an older one, now this one, a MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017) w/ 8 GB of RAM), since 2019. Never had any major issue.

These last few days my server has crashed (seemingly) a couple of times a day, sometimes more.

I grabbed a crash report - would it help find the issue? Is there something else I could gather to shed some light on the topic?
Thank you so much in advance, folks!

Hi there!
My Plex media server (on a MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017, Monterey 12.7.5, 8GB RAM), is randomly crashing a couple of times a day. Today it has been 4 times already.

Would the attached logs help shed light on this issue?
Thank you so much!

Hi Christian, and thank you for helping out.
I don’t think so - my server and database are on the mac’s internal SSD drive (where the OS resides) and ther’s 100GB free in it.
Then the files themselves (movies, music, tv series, etc.) are on external HDs but all have at the very least 1GB of space left.

How can I find out how large is my database? Or are you talking about number of movies, tv series, etc?
