ElectrumX server keeps crashing randomly about electrumx

You can also theoretically try to repair the database. Change into your data directory and run:

python3 -c "import plyvel; plyvel.repair_db('hist')"
python3 -c "import plyvel; plyvel.repair_db('utxo')"

Sorry for not replying sooner, but the sync took a long time, also because it was crashing during the sync (there is another open issue for this #30) and I also did a full resync of bitcoind just to be sure. Now it works since about a week without a problem. I guess the problem was really the corrupt database. I will close this. Thanks for the help!

This looks like there is something wrong with the data. Possibly it got corrupted on the disk. My guess is you will need to delete the data and reinitialize.

Thanks! I will try to repair the database and post the results here.

Repairing the database didn't help. It got stock (for more than 1 day) with:

Jul 15 14:15:38 server1 electrumx_server[491]: INFO:History:DB shut down uncleanly. Scanning for excess history flushes...

I am now trying to reinitialize the database. It is still syncing since more than 40 hours. I will post the results after the sync is done.

"I will post the results after the sync is done."

No update since then (for 22 days), I assume this is resolved and not an electrumX issue but bad disk/hardware etc? Perhaps can be closed.
