Re: [tor-relays] Relay keeps crashing (raspberry)



I had a pi3 running for 374 days.  Acting as a router.  No crashes.  Just sat there doing its thing.  I found them astonishingly stable unless you are thrashing the sdcard.  But I find my cameras beak SD cards more often than a pi

Not run Tor with a pi though.

Does the RPi crash? Or does Tor crash?

What happens when the crash happens? Does the device reboot? Does it stay in some unrecoverable, sad state? Or something entirely different?

Are you sure the power supply is able to supply the RPi during longer peak periods of CPU activity?

Have a look at this table[1] and make sure that your power supply allows enough current for the RPi to run in a stable manner. I have seen some stability issues with an RPi where I used a random power supply that was not powerful enough.

You could try to artificially create CPU load on the system and see if it becomes unstable after a while.

Difficult to say at this point. We need a bit more information here.

All the best,
Alex.
