UPDATE FROM MABULA
I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred  after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Â Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
So I have a computer I've been using to test APP with, it's not, like, super powerful. Only about 17 years old (LOL). 8GB RAM, plenty of disk.
So I've been running it via a remote desktop and all that is great. (Note I am using Ubuntu)
But now it seems that APP crashed while I was in the midst of registration. Up to that point it was taking quite a long time, obviously maxed out on RAM and CPU utilization.
I was hoping to see why it crashed, but I cannot find any logs anwhere. I see the program in /opt. But nothing in /var/logs.
I suspect it crashed simply due to out of memory.
I guess I really need something better.
So.
1) no log files anywhere? Perhaps I can start APP myself and pass some options to java?
2) recommendations on a computer? I'm looking at a 12 core AMD Ryzen 9 5900x. With 128 GB Ram. 1TB SSD and 8TB HDD. I will put Ubuntu on it.

Cheers,

@jjarvis Hi Joel,
Regarding the log, in case of a crash there should be a crash log in the installation directory of APP. Note that this will only be there if the crash happened due to any other reason than an Out Of Memory error. Unfortunately we are not 100% sure that the log is written on Linux. On Windows or macOS it will be. So the lack of a crash log on your system may indicate an Out Of Memory error but also may not.
Regarding a recommendation for a new computer: APP requires much RAM and disk space. It looks like the specs of the computer that you selected meet those requirements.
HTH, Wouter
if you have more budget for pc, I recommend choosing more capacities for SSD (PCIe Gen4)
