Issue Description: I have been having this issue with my raspberry pi running dietPi where it seems to lock up and I cannot SSH / access any of the services on it. The interesting part is that the interface seems to be up and I can still ping it on the local network but shows no video output. usually I get about 3-6 days before the issue appears again.

I am not really sure where to start to diagnose this issue. Any help would be appreciated!

Things Tried:

Reduced operating temp by getting a fan. I want to say this improved the length in between this issue appearing but don’t really have any hard evidence.

uninstalled unused services

Limited active torrents in QbitTorrent

EDIT: Small thing to mention is that the CPU load is usually really high - like not uncommon for the load to be between 8-10 but I have seen it as high as 24.

Temporary fix:

Power cycle - everything comes up again in less than a minute.

Raspberry Pi 3B v2

OS: DietPi

Services:

Radarr

Sonarr

Prowlarr

    This is likely an issue with your SD card…Pi’s eat them up, even the good ones that supposedly can handle it get chewed up pretty quickly. It really sucks that they haven’t transitioned to emmc but insist on using SD cards.

      Yeah seems like a weird choice to have a default storage type that is known in the community to be unreliable.
