Hi

I have a very old Asus Chromebox (CN60) I’m using as minecraft server.

I installed debian 12 on it recently, and everything necessary to host the server.

The server does shutdown/turn off every once in a while. Sometimes it will go a month without issues, the last two days it shut down 3 times.

What can I proactively do to monitor those reboots? it might be a few days before I notice the server is off and I need to start it

I found the command sudo journalctl --boot=-1 should give me information.

But I have no clue what I’m looking for, and probably not how to interpret it.

is there some beginner guide somewhere? Most articles I read are old and reference files that don’t exist on my system.
