Hi, My rig is in a mess. It will not boot unless the Zigbee dongle is removed 1st and re-pluged after boot up - then there are all kinds of errors and timeouts.
A reboot can take 8 to 12 minutes or even ‘for ever’.
I am pretty sure this is general corruption on the SD-Card considering the MANY power failures we have had in the last year.
I am setting up a much more resilient rig - just waiting for some parts.
Now I am worried that the backups are also corrupted and that applying them to the new build will just just bring the problems along as well.
Is there a way to reinstall all the integrations and even the OS and or Core without needing to set things up again?
My thinking is that way I can get a reliable backup before switch over.
Alternatively is there a way to just export all the configuration / definitions without the code?
For example I have lots of ‘Helpers’ defined but they dont see the light of day in a yaml file. Ditto the Zigbee devices.
there’s no way to reinstall any built-in integration without reinstalling (or upgrading) HA itself as they are all built in to the core of HA.
I don’t use HAOS so I can’t know for sure but you probably can’t re-install the OS and keep the existing config files since those are also all linked inside the HA OS.
if you think the backup might be bad then any configuration files could also be bad so you may just be completely out of luck.
The only thing you can do if you need to go down the reinstall HAOS route and you don’t trust the backups is just manually copy all of the config files off onto another drive and then manually copy them back over after you reinstall HAOS.
make sure you copy all of the files in the config folder (the same folder where configuration.yaml resides) including all of the hidden “.storage” folders.
I think that should also get all of the info you need for your zigbee devices as well.
But it won’t save any of your add-on configurations if you are using any those.
finity. Thanks -subsequent request.
The new build is moving from HAOS to the Container approach. It sounds like that is what you are using.
Do you have any suggestions for migration from HAOS to Docker version?
Meanwhile I am unzipping a whole backup to see what is in there - and what format the files are in.
