Hi everyone.
I’m reorganising some things on my HomeAsstant.
I did following steps
- HomeAssistant A: running instance on ProxMox
- create backup A
- create new fresh instance B: HomeAssistant B on my ProxMox server
- Started B
- onboarding on B: started with restore of backup A
- (notice: at this point, after restore both A and B are running simultaniously, but with different IP)
- shutdown A
- configured same “proxmox-hardware” on B: forwarded same USB-device (for my zigbee stick) and same MAC-address for NIC
- after a while and some re-boots, re-authentication Tuya, etc…, everything seems to be up and running.
So far so good.
However:
I noticed that I lost my historical data of Grafana/InfluxDB: AUWCH… !!!
A little bit in panic,
- I shutdown instance B
- started instance A again.
But than I got totally crazy: on the orignal instance A, the historic data of this instance seems also be lost!!!
I really don’t understand this.
Is the data of InfluxDB/Grafana stored “somewhere” on my proxmox and running both A and B simultaniously messed up my database? But this really would be weird: they are totally different ProxMox machines…
