I’m having a hard time restoring snapshots. I have an automation that creates a new snapshot a 3AM everyday (they’re about 40MB in size). I’ve had my web interface become unreachable a few times lately (I think related to constant restarting after config changes) and the only way I’ve been able to get it back is to restore a snapshot. Now when I restore a snapshot (even using snapshots I’ve successfully previously restored) I still can’t get to the interface despite being able to ping and SSH into my setup. I am using a Raspberry Pi 3 B+. Here are my steps:
- Reflash SD card with Hassio
- Plug in SD card into R-Pi and wait for it to setup
- Use same username-password as previous setup
- Enable SSH and add public key
- Upload snapshot to R-Pi and hit the refresh button
- Select snapshot and begin restore
- Wait (even overnight), but the web interface is still not loading, almost like going to a madeup URL in a browser
- Ping/SSH to make sure the R-Pi is still up and running
9, Repeat and try again
In addition to the above, I have tried deleting the .storage folder and the *.db file. I’ve tried multiple different snapshots. I’ve tried all manner of selecting different options of what to restore when performing the restore. I can confirm that my YAML files are being extracted from the snapshot.
Other notes, I get “Error:” when I try to run some commands over SSH like: hassio homeassistant restart
I’m running out of ideas on what to try to restore snapshots. Since I used to be able to do this (as recently as 2 weeks ago) and can no longer restore snapshots, I believe there is a regression in the code.
