A while ago I switched from a sd card on my Raspberry pi 3b to a ssd and moved the whole home assistant config. I can start the container and access home assistant when the image is set to the same as when the backup was done but when I try to use another image the container starts but I’m not able to access home assistant. Is there something to fix this or am I stuck with running the same home assistant version or starting over from scratch?
Is it possible the IP Address of your device is changing?
I don’t think so. I can run another container with the latest and it works but when i try to change the version of the image on my backup version it does not work.
More info needed like logs, commandline outputs etc.
There is no commandline output only that the container were created and is up an running.
This is the log file from ha:

What commandline did you use to start the container?
docker-compose up -d
Then the docker-compose.yml would be helpful
Ok then what does your dockercompose file say?
This one works nu it is when i change the version number to anything else the 2023.3.4 it stops working. I have tried stable, latest, 2023.6 these does not seem to work.
version: '3.0'

Follow the instructions would help

Have you tried a version closer to your current version?
I have tried 2023.5 no luck. Tried 2023.3.6 seem to work trying 2023.4 now. Maybe I just have to take smaller jumps until i reach the latest?
By the way I don’t think you need the devices:
block because it runs as privileged.
I recall that in a recent update a new database scheme was introduced and the database needed to be updated after upgrading HA. Maybe that’s the reason for your errors like
Could not parse JSON content: /config/.storage/ho
meassistant.exposed_entities
How do i upgrade the database?
Managed to get the version to 2023.4.6 but 5 or higher does not work.
It does it on its own and takes a while. You should probably read the update notes and breaking changes from the version that doesn’t work for you.
By removing the exposed_entities
file it seems to work and the file is created upon launch again. Thanks for the suggestions
