On my ZimaOS system, after a while, it suddenly stops working; the control panel freezes. The web panel freezes, and neither login nor the SSH terminal works. Docker containers continue to function. The system returns to normal after a restart, but after a while the problem returns. Does anyone know anything about this? I’m using version 1.6.1.
Yeah that sounds like the system itself is still running (since your containers stay up), but the WebUI and core services are freezing.
Quick things to check:
- can you still ping the Zima when it locks up?
- any response locally on the machine or completely frozen?
Feels like a 1.6.x issue rather than Docker.
If you can, grab logs after a reboot so we can see what’s happening:
journalctl -xe
dmesg | tail -100
Without logs it’s a bit of a guess, but I’ve seen similar where the UI layer crashes while Docker keeps going.
If it keeps happening, worth testing with fewer containers or even rolling back just to confirm it’s version related.
