Nutshell: I recently bought and imaged with the latest HAOS a slimline PC and gave it to my mate who regained some interest in monitoring his grid and solar activity.
All was working well till we tried to change the IP address from DHCP on 192.168.1.123 to .50 to set it outside the BT routers DHCP scope.
There may have been an error message as he hit save and since we haven’t been able to regain access to HA, neither will it respond to a PING. However, the Router and Advanced IP Scanner confirm the HA host is online and on .50?
He had previously downloaded a backup (to his PC, all be it not the most recent etc) so before we re-image it, does the panel have any idea what might be going on here please?
Full disclosure, we disabled IPV6 while we were there but I think (I was shoulder surfing him as he did it) there was some sort of error message that came up at some point when it seemed to restart etc (could have just been the ‘You will need to access HA on the new address’ etc).
The thing is, I run my HA on an Odroid N2+ and none of the commands I see mentioned that are supposed to report network configuration seem to work so I can’t even get to a position where I can help him out of this issue (and he’s not back till Thursday).
I run ‘Advanced SSH & Web Terminal’ and when I access my server via the Terminal I get a little right arrow and a tilde till I log in then it becomes:
[\e]0;\u@\h:\w\a]\W $
And whilst I’m ok at the system level and basic electronics (~20 ESP8266/32 devices) I’m mostly lost with the Linux / Docker CLI stuff. ;-(
