I did try to check the logs but don't know what to look for. Disk is almost full, it's 1TB so even with minimal apps I'm 50-60GB to be full. However issues happened for some times now, before I was above 900GB, even if it stopped a couple of months before starting over again more or less regularly.

CPU and RAM are never at 100% when I check.

When the crash or freeze occur, try to look into the logs, maybe there is some clues about any issue.

Disk is a whole world, so I was talking to check not only the space, S.M.A.R.T, which stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, is a system used to monitor the health of hard drives.

But... if you have a couple of dollars and don't have time, maybe it's time to migrate to a better hardware, some NUC with better performance for the next 2 or 3 years.

Downsize to the minimum that you need to cover your usual user case and focus on analyze that, less process is better to search root causes.

Go with the mini PC and Ibuntu. Follow the tutorial of 402 payment required. Apart from thenl rest server, everything is still valid.

Upside: You learn a lot about Linux and security.

Downside: you need much time.
