    My LXC stopping more frequently

    My LXCs started stopping randomly after over 1 year of use and I cannot find any logs on why it crashed. These LXCs are occasionally re-created by scripts, so they are quite consistent. How can I find the reason for them stopping? Or can I get them to self restart?
