Has anyone else had thermal management problems with the pi5? I have one running just a couple of servers tucked away on a shelf and a corner of a room, and I find myself needing to physically recycle power on the thing about once every few days (This on top of the daily auto reboot script I have set up as a cron job). I suspect the Wi-Fi is overheating it.
Also check your USB cables if they're supplying power. Low-quality cables are notorious causes of instability with older Pi's, and I doubt the 5 is any different in that respect.
PiHut should stock the required 2p capacitor, right? :)
Perfectly feature complete for all major UK broadband providers!
Apologies for the flippancy.
Perhaps have the cron reboot disable service for a couple of hours?
