Why my relay node crashes and restarts at the end of each epoch?

Hello There,

I have been running a 2 cores 4GB memory relay node for a few epochs now and I noticed an annoying recurring pattern.
At the end of each epoch, my node crashes and takes at least 10 minutes to restart.

Is it the expected behaviour?

Thanks

No, not expected. Mine was doing that for a while and ended up being a memory issue. Make sure you have a swap file enabled.

Thanks, @mcvetyty, I have enabled a 4G swap file for the time being. I will let you know if that fixed the issue at the end of the current epoch.

Cheers

Sounds good!
