Server running PMS becoming unresponsive & unreachable

I’ve been running PMS in a docker container for a little over a year now. In that time I have had a consistent issue that occurs sometimes more (every few days) and sometimes less (maybe once a month): The server will become unresponsive and unreachable, as if it were being DDoS’d, requiring a power cycle. Initially it seemed the issue was being triggered by some Scheduled Task (perhaps video thumbnail generation), no hard proof, but after disabling all Scheduled Tasks and Video Thumbnails in particular, all was more or less good. The issue has come back with a vengeance since 1.0.2, so I’m finally posting here to see if anyone else is experiencing this, or has some debugging insight?

My server:

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release:	16.04
Codename:	xenial

Docker version 1.12.0
The PMS container is based on Debian 8.5

Unfortunately (fourtunately?), I’ve never had this issue with my container. I guess I’d ask where you’re are pulling the container from? Did you build it yourself? Alternatively, have you tried pulling it from others like linuxserver.io? That’s about as much as I know.
