Hi everyone,

I have a Plex server running on my personal Ubuntu 18 server.

Plex is running on latest version `1.21.0.3711` on docker image `plexinc/pms-docker`.

I’m running into some issues now, where my Plex becomes unresponsive, even though the Docker image is running & isn’t showing any obvious `ERROR` or `WARN` messages.

Sometimes it’ll come back up, but last night it didn’t - and was literally down from 3AM to 10AM CET (was asleep, had to restart the whole server)

Is there anyone who could take a look at my server’s logs, and lemme know if there’s anything there indicating the underlying error cause?

Thank you in advance,

(File removed)

I experience the same - any idea why?
