I just set up a hardware watchdog on YunoHost to monitor my connectivity using the watchdog systemd service. If I can't ping 8.8.8.8 for 30 minutes, it'll trigger a reboot.

I've been having issues where my RPi4 server suddenly lost the internet connection... I disabled EEE, which hopefully fixed that, but having some extra security like this probably won't hurt.

@bammerlaan Are you using a static IP address that is only assigned by the router? I was having a problem with multiple pis losing their network connection like that. After setting up the static IP in NetworkManager on the pi itself, things have been stable.

@dwsharp Ah, yes, that was something else I found earlier! I changed that, and in fact thought I'd fixed the problem for a couple of days after that, but it was still losing its internet connection after a while, as it turned out...

In fact, I also found out about the EEE thing earlier, and created a sytemd service to disable it as soon as it booted... The only thing I really changed now was adding "dtparam=eee=off" to my config.txt file, to disable it earlier in the boot process. 🤞

@dwsharp @bammerlaan assign static ip that way, not the best idea. Never heard that kind of issue but try if you have no other idea. It reminds me that with my NUC I always had wifi on in case.
