How to keep data across HA restart (lemmy.world)

I'm pretty new to HA. I've set it up and I keep editing the confirmation and everytime I restart to apply the changes, all the switches, sensors and even the thermostat lose their values. The most annoying is the thermostat (classic thermostat entity) because I have to turn it on selecting heat/cool and set the temperature. Is there a way to keep all these values across restarts?

Edit: I'm using HA OS on Proxmox. All the sensors and switches slowly goes back to "normal" as soon as they publish their state, apart from some entities that have values provided by HA itself and not by the devices (like the thermostat).

Are you using Docker? Forgive me if you know and understand docker - I'm just checking to make sure, but if you're using Docker are you sure you set up your volumes correctly? Docker is stateless, so on any restart it would lose all of your info and be a clean install if you did not set up your volumes correctly
