Hi, By dying I mean the machine completely locks up and is unresponsive to pings or new SSH connections. There version I believe is the latest on Gitlab; I don’t know why he hasn’t been installing the version from the Debian repositories. I am unfortunately unable to check the system logs currently as I can’t access the system.
