In my experience random reboot problems are usually related to the sd card. standard logging setups kill the card faster than you'd think. dd the existing install or rebuild the server.
time to test your disaster recovery strategy!
Thank you and u/irmadlad for the suggestion. I ordered a new SD card and will just clone the current one. I'll probably get to it this weekend and let you know if it worked out.
Fingers crossed.
I went with Alpine Linux for hosting because of this. I like up how my light setup runs completely in RAM, saving the SD card for a while.
I really tried to use a “usb” install for a long time but could never get kernel upgrades (and some other packages) to work correctly.
These days I do a “sys” install but mount
/var/logand some other directories to RAM.
