MariaDB Database Server on Ubuntu keeps shutting down

Subject: MariaDB Database Server on Ubuntu keeps shutting down


Good day from Singapore,


Recently I have just installed Zabbix 7.4 network monitoring tool on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS Linux server.


My Virtual Private Server (VPS) in Tokyo, Japan has 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM and 25 GB SSD storage.


The 1st time, MariaDB server shuts down after about 11 hours.


The 2nd time, MariaDB server shuts down after about 23 hours.


Is it because my VPS doesn't have enough resources and need to upgrade to a better VPS with higher specs?


Please refer to the MariaDB server output below.


root@zabbix:~# systemctl status mariadb

I need to reboot my Ubuntu VPS every time before my Zabbix server will run.


Please advise.


Looking forward to your reply.


Thank you.
