Host logs prior the last boot ⚠️

❓ How - To - Access - Host - Logs - From - Previous - Boot ❓

ha host logs -b-1 -n1000 does not work anymore (for months), only gives Logs only contain 1 boots.

So how shall we debug things if we can't access logs properly? I urgently need a solution for this (#3362 (comment)), tried almost everything. Not even ChatGPT is smart enough. Feels like some HA OS restrictions went a bit too far as this definitely was working in the past (!)

While it works on my main instance, I can reproduce it on another one, so there's definitely something wrong - I'll look into it.

As a workaround, if the logs aren't really lost (e.g. because of FS corruption), you can work it around by leaving out the -b-1 parameter and ignoring the logs from this boot, eventually increasing the -n parameter to get to the point where you need. If your instance recovered after the reboot, you can also use the frontend for logs which was greatly improved recently, and simply scroll up - it should continuously download older logs.
