Pretty sure this is route I’m going to have to take but would love to hear some alternatives if there are any, here’s the story:
Noticed porch lights on after sunrise, quick check shows web interface isn’t loading. Back home later in the day, can’t ping rpi3 via the static IP I had it configured with…samba no longer working, web interface still won’t load. Took rpi3 to my bench, connected to monitor/keyboard but of course that’s kind of a waste…all you get is the HA splash screen on boot.
Checked my router and found that the rpi3 had somehow reverted to grabbing IP via DCHP. Device is pingable at the “new” DHCP address but still no web interface/samba. On a whim, decided to do static IP map on my DHCP server to match the static IP I had configured on the rpi3 in the beginning, just in case resinOS/HA were still expecting to use the static IP despite the fact that the device is now using DHCP. The DHCP static map worked and I can now ping the rpi3 at the IP that I had been using all along. Still no web interface/samba.
Want to try SSH directly to resinOS, put sdcard in another machine, added aurthorized_users file with public key. Try to ssh to port 22222 and it just sits there for anywhere from 10-45 seconds doing nothing, no prompt on screen, etc before error “Network error: software caused connection abort”.
Is there anything I’m missing at this point? Problem with my technique to ssh to resinOS? With sdcard in another computer, is /var/lib/docker the right place to look for my HA config files? (there is no docker folder in /var/lib so I’m wondering if I’m looking in the wrong place)…
Thanks for any advice…
