I have an instance of Odoo18 community intalled via git running on a Digital Ocean droplet :
- Ubuntu 24.10 (GNU/Linux 6.11.0-29-generic x86_64)
- 2 GB Memory
- 50 GB Disk
It runs for about a week and then crashes by iteself, saying the decorator module is not installed. When it is...
root@ConfimundoDiana:~# sudo systemctl status odoo18.service

When it happens, I just restart Odoo and it runs for another 1-2 weeks withtout a problem, then the same problem happens. It's very strange I don't understand why this happens..
Any idea?
The Odoo instance is mainly used to host an ecommerce website.
Thanks a lot for the help!
