A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

3 days ago I setup fail2ban. Nothing fancy, just reading the logs of my docker containers where it applied.

Then 2 days ago my server crashed out of nowhere, nothing in the f2b logs (I thought I had banned the entire internet by mistake), doing a nap just tells me port 80 and 443 were open (a few more should have been for Plex).

The same happened yesterday and I pulled the cable just in case I was being hacked (I'm paranoid but not too much), and looked in it. usually I ssh from my local network into the server, but couldn't this time, so I put a screen on it and it was quickly flooded with systemd failures and ext4 errors.

I reformated the disk a few months ago and ran a SMART, it told me the disk was fine, no error detected. It is a chonky 2TB disk and I have at most 150gigs used (movies, music, backups waiting to be transferred on daily basis to other servers/media, dockers).

Where should I look? I know how to work with Linux but when looking for a problem like this, except using systemctl status/restart I'm lost.

Maybe an issue with ram? Could be loose, dusty, going bad.
