It’s been a while since I noticed that but I can’t find the reason. I selfhost :

  • a linkding with docker
  • a writefreely
  • a bludit blog
  • a CalDav (radicale)

There is a syncthing running for backups done with borg at night (automated with a crontab).

When I htop, I don’t see anything to hint me to what is causing the heating.

Any ideas of what I could do to investigate that?

Thanks a lot.

    Bad cooling. If nothing presents itself as the obvious answer, then you have to go with what’s left.

    Check your thermal paste. Is your cooler seated properly? Do you have sufficient/unrestricted air flow if you have air heating. If you have liquid cooling, do you have enough fluid to make a loop?
