Local idiot spills water into server and kills it

Keeps crashing as a service and causes the renderer to eject it on reestablishing connection after the service restarted.
Works if launched manually, but when it crashes, it has to be relaunched manually.
Could be issue due of it running in headless configuration mode

Server decommissioned.
Media sweep required before handoff.
ESXi media removed and migrated to T223.

No response yet. I've asked again. Thank you for your patience.

New 3DS Max render has started at Wednesday 01/08/2020 00:48

Server functions with no errors visible. Closing

Continuing verification of functions
Firewall is functional and core services are up.

MySQL folder in /var/run/ is missing and is not being recreated on boot
Creating it and assigning correct permissions makes the server function but gets removed on boot. Possible side-effect of kernel change.
Applying fix from here

Firewall is up.
MySQL database has entered failed state, attempting to recover.

SSH ports returned to stock port to not cut connection again
Firewall configs nuked from orbit
Proceeding with new rule configuration

Kernel replaced, switching to boot from hard-drive
Waiting for server to ping

Seems like all issues are caused by OVH's custom kernel
Attempting to replace the kernel for a stock LTS one
