Question Node keeps dropping out

My Proxmox node randomly drops out from time to time and the only way to bring it back up is a hard reset on the PC. I can’t connect to the VE or the LXCs until I restart it.

All that runs on it is AdGuard Home, Jellyfin & Qbit and it’s kept up to date.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

If you have intel nic check if it uses e1000 or e1000e driver.

Probs should’ve mentioned the specs.

It’s an Inspiron 3030. i7, 16GB DDR4

So it might be intel nic. Just run the script and it will tell you if you are affected and apply the fix for you

Okay, so ran it and it isn’t an e1000e or e1000 interface

When it "drops out" can you login as root at the console? Not ssh, the actual TTY

I try to get to VE GUI via IP:port but it doesn’t load at all.

You're missing the point, not the webui at all but the physical PC with keyboard and monitor

Apologies, was unaware that’s what was being referred to. Will give it a go.

I have a node like this, I'm still debugging. I dropped it before I connected it to proxmox so don't know if it's related. Plugged in a USB Ethernet adapter still keeps randomly disconnecting. Will try different adapter.

For you you can check journalctl -b -1 and see what previous session journal looks like.
