Expected behavior

Don't freeze

Actual behavior

It freezes randomly. I gradually increased the VM's resources (CPU and RAM) and it still froze.
At first I thought it was related to RabbitMQ but it happens with the service turned off as well.

I manage to do everything I need (SSH into the machine, run the app, develop, etc) but for no reason it freezes to the point I have to forcefully remove the VM and recreate the box.
I'm not able to figure out any pattern or trigger for this behaviour. It freezes for no apparent reason.

Steps to reproduce

Just wait I guess

Add this to after.sh (and run it in the VM if you don't want to re-provision)

sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target

Will do that right now. I've just installed a fresh homestead setup and ran apt update; apt upgrade -y and froze again.
Will come back with feedback on your solution. 🙏 Thanks!

I've also ran into those random freeze issues. Just ran your command. Will report if this resolves this issue.

Nice! This seem to have worked. Managed to upgrade installed packages and run heavy work loads on the VM for almost 3 hours now and hasn't froze. ❤️

I'm guessing this fix should get reviewed and pushed directly into after.sh.

We should fix this upstream in https://github.com/laravel/settler

Will be resolved in the next base box version https://github.com/laravel/settler/commit/20c1fd3bd1850bc4360fa14e6ad76f067ae44c7b
