Hi, I've been running a bridge since october without issue. But two days ago i realized that my raspberry keep craching like every two hours or so. Nothing changed. I'm running kali linux (re4son kernel) on a raspberry PI 3 +. The logs don't show anything. Sometime on screen i have a thermometer icon but when i check the temperature in real time it is never over 60°C. I have updated and upgrading everything: same problem. My power supply looks ok. Any idea of what i should check or do to fix the problem? It worked very well for months. does saving my "key" and reinstalling everything could help? any tips would be welcome. regards, David Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

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. [1]: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/power/README.... -- Alexander Færøy
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. -----Original Message----- From: tor-relays <tor-relays-bounces@lists.torproject.org> On Behalf Of Alexander Færøy Sent: 17 May 2020 22:12 To: tor-relays@lists.torproject.org Subject: Re: [tor-relays] Relay keeps crashing (raspberry) Hello, On 2020/05/17 09:55, David Strappazon wrote:

Does the RPi crash? Or does Tor crash? The RPI craches (it is frozen). When it happens i'm disconnected from SSH, i can't ping the RPI and if i check the screen i can see the Desktop but can't move the mouse. I have to use the switch to turn it off and on.

Are you sure the power supply is able to supply the RPi during longer peak periods of CPU activity? I don't know how to check it (will look for answer). it is the power supply i had when i ordered my ABOX kit. It is supposed to be a 5,1V - 3A power supply with a switch.

For what i understand it seems ok.
You could try to artificially create CPU load on the system and see if it becomes unstable after a while. Haven't done it yet but i will. Anyway i doubt it is the problem. It's a very "small" bridge and the best i had is 10 connexions a day.
