I managed to log into the back end of WP and started enabling and disabling different plugins. I discovered there was a conflict with one of them related to Toolset and WooCommerce. It's working again now.

Crash means...

My site says "There has been a critical error on this website."

This means the website won't load on the front or back end. It just stopped working altogether.

I don't know what else to do from here besides ditch this install and try to start with a fresh one. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

@overholt you can restart redis from Services -> redis -> select the redis to restart.

Just to take a step back.. what are the app logs saying? it should say something about why it's crashing . Also, what does crashing mean here? Does the app keep restarting ? Or some apache page? Or the "app is not responding" page ?

Also, normally, if I disable a plugin it does not appear in the WordPress plugins directory, or it will have ...-disabled" or something after it.

WP does not rename the plugin directory afaik. It just tracks what is enabled and not in the database. You , as a user, can rename that directory and this results in it getting disabled since WP does not know about this new directory anymore. The "-disabled" thing is just a rename. It could be "-something-wp-does-not-know" and it will still get disabled. This is my understanding of WP (not an expert)

@joseph I tried both of those (see my original post).
Do I need to manually restart the redis service? If so, how?
I don't know if a the repair process will help.
I don't have a full Cloudron backup of the WP instance but I do have a backup of the WP site itself. I suppose I could create a nother WP instance and restore the backup to it. It would be nice to find out what happened though so I don't do it again.
Also, normally, if I disable a plugin it does not appear in the WordPress plugins directory, or it will have ...-disabled" or something after it. I have disabled plugins in my plugins folder that don't appear to be renamed. IS this expected behavior in Cloudron? Is there another mechanism by which plugins are disabled?

@overholt just restarting the app will re-enable the plugin.

Also, if you want to disable redis, do this via the Cloudron interface - See https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#services
