For no apparent reason that I am aware of, Virtualmin started losing connection.
If it does load, it takes forward, and when the dashboard finally loads, when I try to navigate to another page it tries to load it until I get a connection lost message.
She login via ssh, if the connection is established, it soon gets disconnected.
When I log in via DigitalOcean console and run /etc/init.d/webmin status it returns that virtualmin is running, and all the websites are also running.
Did anyone experience this before?
How can I troubleshoot this to understand what exactly is the issue?
If this just started today, Iād wait and see if it clears up. Iāve had problems accessing about a third of the sites Iāve tried to access today ā some of them very well-known sites ā and can still access some of them only intermittently.
It may just be something funky going on Internet-wise rather than a problem with your particular server.
Iāve had this case once as wellā¦
What are the specs of your Digital Ocean droplet?
In my case it was the ClamAV virus scanner, which was āeatingā all my Ram. I couldnāt connect to SSH and the GUI was suddenly not responding anymore
Ok, that would be actually enough memory and power for ClamAVā¦
Yeah I just recommend you what @calport already said, check everything with the top command or maybe install htop, for me itās a little bit better structured
Virtualmin is not related to ssh. If youāre losing both, something is happening to your server. OOM killer maybe. Network problems maybe. I dunno. But your problem is probably not a Virtualmin problemā¦itās almost certainly a system-level problem.
it will not come back.
