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!

I’ve been having this issue for several months now. I just restored from a backup over the weekend and am hoping this resolves the issue. The backup was only a week old, so if my it’s my config that is causing the issue it will probably keep happening and I’ll go back to trouble shooting.

I tried to get some help from the HA discord and was suggested to get an x86 platform. Alternatively I could search the journal log, but I gave up on that approach as it is not very straight forward. Here’s a link on how to get to the journal if you can figure it out
