Newt keeps losing the connection to my VPS. I run newt as a binary and systemd service. It appears to happen quite randomly maybe once a day. It's not always at the same time. As soon as I run systemctl restart newt.service it works again.

Here are logs of newt.service:

Same thing.
Linux loses connection after reboot

As a temporary fix I have set up a newt monitor script. It monitors newt's logs and restarts newt whenever it loses the connection.

I have the same issue. Sadly I restarted the systemd service before discovering this issue.
Since this happens every once in a while I will try to get you some more logs, which might help

Thanks! Been doing some improvements and the next newt release should have some better down detection and recovery!

Thank you very much.
Could not manage to get the logs, since it did not happen again.
But updating all my machines now.
