How to remotely reboot a Linux host if SSH fails to connect? (self.selfhosted)

Edit2: Thanks all for your responses! I have checked the logs, https://lemmy.nz/comment/6192604, and based on that removed tracker-miner-fs as it's a search/index tool which I don't need. No idea why it took over all memory. I'll also get a WiFi Smartplug as a kill switch. Hopefully that solves it. Thanks again heaps!

I've got a HP ProDesk G3 which I'm using as home server, I've installed Ubuntu on it. Earlier this week the services I host on it stopped (Immich & Frigate). I tried to SSH, but it just hung after asking for a password. I could ping it, but it was just unresponsive.

I had to force reboot it manually. This is fine, but I'm not always at home.

The chip has Intel vPro as far as I know, which could be an option, but I have no idea how this works. The documentation on the Intel site seems focused on enterprises. I tried to connect with RealVNC which does not work, so I think I've got to install/configure something on the server first.

I also asked Bing Chat but it came up with non existing packages & commands. Welcome your thoughts!

/edit: I just found this, which seems to be exactly what I need: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man7/amt-howto.7.html

Maybe investigate why it hung?

That could be a sign of something bigger about to kill it altogether

Yes, thanks for that. Good point. I checked the logs, and minutes before it crashed I can see below in the logs. Seems like either a GPU error or out of memory error. No idea what tracker-miner-f is by the way. It also shows a massive list of processes with their memory usage.

This goes beyond my knowledge :(

Tracker miner fs generates thumbnails for files iirc. There was a recent vulnerability where malicious files could crash it and execute code just by being on disk. Make sure you haven't been hit by malware

I've uninstalled it, it's an index/search tool. Don't need it :D

Usually comes with your DE, sometimes removing it breaks your DE
