Trying to understand why HA keeps restarting

if i look at .log.1 … i don’t see any ERROR entries, is there another location to look for the root cause ? running on a 13th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i9-13900K with 64Gb of dram on Ubuntu 22.04.5 on python3.13.3

There have been some issues reported with HA and high memory configurations.
If you are running a hypervisor, then try to lower the memory available to 8Gb.

no hypervisor … directly on top of ubuntu 22.04 with python3.13.3

You running Supervised, Container , or Core?

You can look at the version info page. If it states “Operating System” it is HAOS, if it just states “Supervisor” and not “Operating System” it is Supervised and if it only states “Core” and “Frontend” it is Container or Core.
