Device shutting down every night
-
That looks like it was (already) rebooting around 23:40:29 ... You should go back in the logs to see when this rebooting started to happen.
And then everything went silent at this moment "Jul 16 23:45:29 kernel MCA: Address 0x14746070".I already feel sorry for the state of the "hard disk" in your system. The file sytem can really take a shoot at non user initiated reboots moments ( which eventually leads to a less stable device : more reboot / crashes etc).
You better check op with the Netgate Youtube video : "Check and Repair pfSense Filesystem".Then the system was started at July 17, 10:07 in the morning.

@Gertjan if from 23:35 start rebooting and this happen again on 23:40 (as you stated) and again 23:45 , all those logs seem to me failed boot attempts because of power. (that's why we have silent logs in between).
what you say about that ?
-
MCA errors like that at almost exclusively a hardware issue. Especially if it just started happening and not after an upgrade or after enabling something new (which might access new hardware).

@stephenw10 Hello Steph,
the only update performed is pfsense 2.6 to 2.7 and then 2.7.2 (because the device came with 2.6 from the supplier).
-
And that wasn't immediately before the MCA errors started?

@Bambos said in Device shutting down every night:
because of power
If power is an issue, get an UPS.
-
@stephenw10 no, the initial setup was 12 days ago.
-
@Gertjan there is a UPS, the power disconnection might be after the UPS , on the socket of the APU device power supply 12V adapter.

Ah ... maybe it's time to lock the equipment up into a sealed box, with padlock and all of that
pfSense, like any other device with a big OS, file systems, etc, doesn't like it at all (understatement) when the power gets removed like that.

Check the BIOS/Coreboot version. It's probably waaay out of date and that's about the only thing you can do.
