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.

You are looking at the software, but how’s the hardware?

How old is the server? Could the thermal paste be old and dried up? Is the cooling fan working?

A CPU with bad cooling can still run, up to a threshold and then it will throttle itself to avoid going over, but since the cooling sucks just being on will keep it there.
