After update to 16.0.0 all flows and notes are gone

Third party integrations Node-RED
40

Same here. Managed to get a backup of my node config downloaded, but been trying to get node-red started for the past 45 minutes now.

Doing a full upgrade again, see if that helps

If it doesnt work Jeroen, same stuff as leopold we can help each other get started back up. But if it does - let us know and keep track of your process. :wink:

Hello Nathan,

thanks for the help. I’ll have to check it out. Do you know how I can access my folders with HA OS?

Cheers

I have this exact same issue. Same log as well

44

It worked!!! So here’s what I did:

  1. updated to 16.02
  2. rename your addon_configs/a0d7b954_nodered to whatever (don’t delete this!)
  3. start nodered; you should have a blank slate with no flows
  4. go into the menu on the top right and select “import”
  5. click 'select file to import ’ and browse your old addon folder (the one you renamed in #2 and find a file called “.flows.json” EDIT: this might be a hidden file so unhide it if you can’t find it…this should be dated pre-upgrade. It might even be renamed with the “backup” extension, If so, just rename it to “.flows.json”.
  6. you should see the list of your old flows appear in the window below
  7. click “import” at the bottom
  8. restart nodered or the HA core
  9. if all is well, you should be able to at least see your flows. (better than nothing) My flows actually work so I am ecstatic!!

  1. updated to 16.02 - Done
  2. rename your addon_configs/a0d7b954_nodered to whatever (don’t delete this!) - Done
  3. start nodered; you should have a blank slate with no flows - Will not start

What should be in the a0d7b954_nodered(renamed) folder, because I only have:
/addon.json
/data/options.json
No, flows, or anything else. Maybe my issue is that stuff is missing from this location and it will not start.
If I rename the folder, it does not reproduce either, I do not get another a0d7b954_nodered created.

TO add to this, my flows are working somehow, even though the addon is not starting, and I cannot edit anything, so something somewhere is working, I just cannot edit or see them in any way. Was working find before the 15.1.1>16.0.0>16.0.1>16/0/2 nightmare.

Same problem here after 16.01 install

What a nightmare my addons_config folder is empty?

I got it working, I swear I followed all of @Mirai_Hayashi’s instructions but one, I was only restarting HA and not the whole system, (I run on an x86 system). That seemed to fix it for me, thanks all that helped, you are the greatest! Once I told it to reboot completely I got all my flows back.

I got hit with this too. And the instructions here are sadly not helping. I don’t get it. If I restore a backup of before it’s still 16.x on node-red. If I install older backups also nothing… I finally managed to get it to stop trowing the error but ALL FLOWS ARE GONE?!

Where do i find this or copy this for a manual import? I’m seeing years of work disappear here. Work I thought was save in backups…

It was a whirlwind hour but now it’s roaring again, phew

I keep getting Unable to expand “homeassistant.tar.gz” (or any other). it is in an unsupported format. Probably I am just doing something really dumb wrong?

55

what tool are you using to expand it?

56

I just downloaded “The Unarchiver” from the AppStore (Mac user). Defauly OS one does the same. I can unpack the full backup tar but all the files in there give that error. If I download a partial backup of say nodered I can open it but there are no flows in the flow directory.

What I also don’t get, I’ve done full restores from older backups and it doesn’t seem to change, except that all addons don’t run unless I restart them. Even the old version of NodeRed wasn’t put back.

57

so, that’s what my logs say:

I wrote how I solved it, with samba and no restore of HA core.
