PMS shutsdown at same time with "signal 15"

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Server Version#: 1.19.1.2589-2de7f3266
official Plex docker with tag :latest
Base system is Ubuntu 18.04

I am having strang issue where my server on my VPS stalls at 06:00 nearly every day (it is not every day as far as I can tell). The logs indicate Shutting down with signal 15 (Terminated), which seems to be a normal shutdown. I found this issue several times in the forum, but no solution since this might be related to external factors. There is no cronjob running at 06:00 so it must come from somewhere else and hoped that somebody could help determining the origin. My other containers are not affected, it is only Plex that stops running. PMS maintenance is running from 02:00 to 07:00 and I already disabled thumbnail generation.

When the server stalled, I cannot restart the docker container but I can only solve this by restarting the entire server. Log is attached.

Log is attached, if I should supply more please let me know.

Could this be a EPG refresh or a AV checking it’s definitions?

Nope, remote system on a VPS, nothing attached no EPG running.

I’d be looking at anything thats running at that time

It is inside a docker container, so in my understanding whatever terminates PMS is most likely coming from the inside of it. While it is theoretically possible to stop it from the outside, it is not very likely.

Cron doesn’t even exist inside of the container.

As a follow up, this issue doesn’t seem to happen anymore, at least it is running for several days now without forced shutdown.
It might be related to a tool I was using, which is messing with Plex a lot:
https://hub.docker.com/r/nowsci/plex-db-sync/

I stopped using it because I was getting corrupt databases on my remote server and after disabling it also the shutdown issue went away.
