Hi,

My node is constantly rebooting, with this error:

2021-10-23T06:36:44.087Z        INFO    Configuration loaded    {"Location": "/app/config/config.yaml"}

        runtime.main:255

It seems to have happened to some people before in this forum, but I prefer to ask for support before trying anything more.

Removing the container and launching another seems to not fix the issue.

Been downtime for some hours now.

Help appreciated,
Elias
