Server Version#:1.43.0.10492 Hey guys I migrated my plex server to a plex lxc in proxmox about a yr ago and things have been working pretty well but here recently I started having issues with the server going down. So I need some help to check logs and see if anyone can help me identify. Let me know if any more info is needed or questions appreciate the help [Plex Media Server Logs\_2026-03-20\_19-58-38.zip](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/dtt421ZDw6mID4tew9qQSyqHi3x.zip) (5.6 MB) ---

The log files do not show Plex Media Server stopping or crashing. The next time the problem occurs, restart Plex Media Server, wait two minutes for it to fully log the startup sequence, then pull & post the log files. ---

Plex did not crash. It was manually shutdown and restarted on May 6 at 09:05. What is happening that makes it appear as if Plex has crashed? I do not see anything horrible in the log files. That’s why I’m asking. Shutdown at 09:05:50 and restart four seconds later: Plex Media Server.1.log: `May 06, 2026 09:05:50.461 [131769934256952] DEBUG - Ordered to stop server.` Plex Media Server.log: `May 06, 2026 09:05:54.682 [133224058755728] DEBUG - BPQ: [Idle] -> [Starting]` There were some network connectivity issues starting at 06:34, but they cleared up an hour later. ```auto May 06, 2026 06:34:23.880 [131769770445624] WARN - [HttpClient/HCl#1ec6a] HTTP error requesting GET https://v4.plex.tv/pms/:/ip (6, Couldn't resolve host name) (Could not resolve host: v4.plex.tv) ...

usually while watching something it’ll just pop up a message and say content isn’t avalible, I also have Tracearr running and it’ll send a notification that the plex server isn’t responding, then it come back up after a couple mins ---
