PMS crashes on daily basis

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.30.2.6563

Recently formatted my 2011 Mac mini, reinstalled the OS (macOS 10.13.6), and reinstalled the server and copied the old ~/LIbrary/Application Support/Plex Media Server to the new machine.

It is working as it should, except the PMS crashes on more or less a daily basis. Restarting it works fine, but it should of course not crash. :slight_smile: Any help appreciated.

I don’t see how I can upload files, so crash logs and server logs can be found here: Dropbox - Plex logs.zip - Simplify your life

The logs are full of network related errors, such as the Mac losing its local IP address.

This repeats ~1500 times in the log files:

Verify the integrity of the network connection for the Mac.

Use a wired Ethernet connection if possible. If already on a wired connection try different Ethernet cables, router/switch ports, etc.

Make sure the Mac has a solid Internet connection and can communicate with plex.tv.

Drag the file into the message window. It will insert at the cursor location. Alternately, use the upload button.

Thanks a lot, that will give me something to work on. The machine is constantly being awakened for some reason (Which is why I reset it), so that could explain it.
