Proxmox Thread - Home Lab / Virtualization

[napstersquest]

Hi, I started dabbling in Homelab a few months back. Have a tiny pc with 12th Intel as my proxmox node and just added a NAS PC running TrueNas a week back.
I need advice from you guys about a peculiar issue I am facing. My TrueNas pc shuts down after some time on its own. There are no errors when I restart it using the hardware power button.
On my proxmox, I have a VM running a mediaserver using docker along with some LXCs for adguard, NPM, etc. It runs fine as long as the mediaserver VM is not running. But when I run it, the whole machine goes in reachable, even though the tiny PC is on. I have had it do this even while watching a video from the mediaserver through Plex. It seems high read write crashes it.
Any help, especially on the NAS machine shutting down would be much appreciated.

Check for power supply and heat issues.
Tiny PC might not have enough power for processor+disks, try a bigger brick, or not enough cooling.

Yeah, power could be an issue. Heat unlikely as it has a fan, plus it doesn't feel hot or even the fan doesn't run at high speed while streaming videos. Thanks for the hint about power. Will try a bigger powerbrick.

You could also stream the system logs to another server, say a pi 4/5 running a syslog server. This could help troubleshoot the errors causing the machine to shut down. On a side note, you can also try https://system-bridge.timmo.dev/ to monitor system parameters.
