Summary: MA as a HA (OS) app crashes without logging any errors or warnings even in safe mode or restoring from a backup

Yesterday, it worked fine. I did not change anything, and suddenly the MA app in HA (HAOS) was not running anymore. I restarted it, and it began logging and starting, but then suddenly it died. No error, warning or log message related to the crash appeared, the HA watchdog restarted MA. I tried safe mode, same issue. I even restored a backup from when it was working and started it with safe mode. Still crashing.
The webserver is briefly kind of accessible every time; it says authenticating, but then connection is lost.

Running out of RAM?

Ill check

#

Its kinda weird, HA says HAOS is using 0.9/1GB (85.7%). The MA app is using around 3% ram (but 93% CPU). HAOS is running as a proxmox VM, and there it says the it's using 1.09 GiB/1.46 GiB.
So, I don't think it's running out of ram but it does not always line up perfectly.
I'll try restarting the proxmox vm with a bit more RAM

1GB is no where near enough. You should be using 8GB+ for good results. Our docs say 4GB+ but that is bare minimum

Right now HA has 2 GB available and its using 1.7-1.8 GB at most. Does that mean its enough?

No our docs say if you are using HA+MA the container should have 4GB+
