I am experiencing reboots every 3-4 hours since yesterday, after updating libglib2.0-0 (version 2.74.6-2+deb12u2).
I manage 7 other servers of friends, same hardware, similar VMs/LXCs, they are all updated except that package, and they have no issues. (they have installed 2.74.6-2+deb12u1).

Code: 
May 10 05:17:01 CRON[35061]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root(uid=0) by (uid=0)
May 10 05:17:01 CRON[35062]: (root) CMD (cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)
May 10 05:17:01 CRON[35061]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root
-- Reboot --

Hi,
AFAICT, the only change in 2.74.6-2+deb12u2 over 2.74.6-2+deb12u1 is this: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/glib/-/commit/1bf4d8867da5d19f3a94f8e4da7aab338fee8c9c

I can't say for sure, but seems unlikely to be the cause of the crashes. If you want to make sure and are not using ibus, you can downgrade to 2.74.6-2+deb12u1.

Otherwise, you might want to connect via SSH from another server and run journalctl -f. If you are lucky, you can see more logs there when the crash happens. Check your RAM via memtest. Check that you have the latest BIOS updates and CPU microcode installed: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-sysadmin.html#sysadmin_firmware_cpu

Fiona, the server doesn't crash, it reboots itself, look at the 4th line of the syslog I posted earlier.

Memory has been tested, latest bios, latest microcode, the server has been running flawlessly for the last 3 years, never an issue.

Any idea how to completely disable cron jobs? There are some system cron jobs, I'm not sure it's a good idea to turn them off.

There is no log indicating a clean reboot, that almost always indicates a crash/hard reset.

When does the next boot start? If it's not directly after the cron jobs, those are unlikely related. Otherwise, what does /etc/cron.hourly contain?

Fiona, thank you for the help. The cron.hourly is actually empty.

I changed the CMOS battery, restored the BIOS settings that worked beautifully for the last 2 years or so, replaced a RAM with a new one, used the other available RAM slot, turned off OpenMediaVault completely. After I did that, the server stayed up for almost a day, then the crashes happened again.

At the moment I'm running only pfsense VM, and 2 LXCs (adguard home).

No idea what's going on.
