Viewing logs after HA goes down? (lemmy.world)

Running on a Raspberry Pi 400

Lately my home has been dumb and unassisted at random times, and the HA app can't connect to my HA rpi server. Ditto when I go to homeassistant:8123 in a browser. I'm trying to see what's causing this, but the logs in app only show since last restart. Tried plugging my Pi into a monitor and getting something from the command line but not sure how to do the equivalent of a Linux tail or whatever. Searching was surprisingly unhelpful. Any advice?

Thanks much!

The most common point of failure on rpis are sd cards, and the symptoms are similar. If you running it from an sd card it's recommended to migrate to an usb ssd.

How do you run ha? Hassos, or normal docker?

I've heard the SD cards can be pretty flakey, so I immediately replaced the one that came with the rpi with something a little more "hardy" (Samsung Pro Endurance 256GB). It's supposed to be able to handle a few years of streaming video turnover, so I wouldn't think that a ~month of text logs would already hose it but I've been wrong before.
