Home server crashing randomly

WhyAUsername_1@lemmy.world to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 41 points –

Hi everyone, I host a server with few services running for my family and friends. The server freezes sometimes. Where the services stop responding. If I try to ssh into the server, it takes a lot of time (3 to 5 mins) for it to connect. After being connected, every letter I type takes 2 to 3 mins to appear on screen.

Seems like the server is overloaded with tasks. But I am not sure what load it is running. I have netdata installed. I could pull up following screenshots for insights.

Can someone please help me in troubleshooting the issue?

I have tried testing stress testing my RAM and CPU, and they were fine. But I would start troubleshooting from scratch if you have recommendations for testings softwares.

Please also let me know if there is anything I can pull from netdata to help in trouble shooting.

System Specification:

System RAM

Disk I/O

Total CPU Utilization

Idle Jitter

spec

Updated the post to show the specs. Also pasted below.

@WhyAUsername_1 Thanks!

I recently had a similar experience with one of my boxes... similar specs also. Im my case it turned out to be a disk going bad. Unfortunately It was the one / was on.

It did take a while to figure out the problem though, but you may want to take a look at the atop tool. If anything, it will help you rule out disk issues.
