Question: Daily Downtime of WordPress Multisites on Hetzner Server – Automatic Restart Solution?

Hi everyone,

We’re currently hosting multiple WordPress multisites on a dedicated server from Hetzner. However, we’ve been experiencing daily downtimes where all sites on the server go down until we manually reboot the server. This happens consistently every day, and the sites are inaccessible until the server is restarted.

We’ve checked the server’s resource usage (CPU, RAM, disk space) and haven’t found any immediate issues. Additionally, the server logs don’t seem to indicate a clear cause for the downtime, making it difficult to pinpoint what’s happening. We’re also running some optimization plugins on the WordPress instances, but they don’t seem to be the source of the issue.

Has anyone encountered similar issues or have suggestions on possible causes, such as server configuration problems, resource limits, or any other potential conflicts?

Moreover, is there a way to automate the server reboot process to mitigate the need for manual intervention in case of downtime? For example, a scheduled task or cron job that reboots the server at a specific time each day would help to reduce the impact of these daily outages.

Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
