I could need some assistance, can't access my HA on my Raspberry

Installation Home Assistant OS

Hi,
I installed hassio on a rpi a while back and added all automations I needed and it worked fine. I came to a point where I no longer needed to fiddle with it cause it was all working as intended.

However… The other day I noticed some things didn’t work any more and now I sat down to check if I needed to reboot it or update it…

I cant access in at all!!. I tried my bookmark which is the hassio.local adress. I also looked up the IP from my network controller and tried that way but this doesn’t work either…

Of course I have tried to restart it by cutting the power and plug it pack in after a minute.

What do you think?
Is this a normal thing and it has a fix I haven’t found on google or is this when the SD card has given up and all is lost?

What is my next move?

Read the card with a computer and see if it is accessible

I could open the SD card on my computer. Windows wanted to check it and found no problems… Whatever that means…
I could open the SD card but I don’t remember how It should look in there, if something is out of order.

And the other question, Yes :slight_smile:
I am trying with port 8123.

you are only looking at the boot partition which is a windows style partition. You need to look in the other partitions which retarded windows cannot read without 3rd party drivers.

Boot your PC with linux (eg a usb drive based ubuntu) or get the windows ext drivers.

Ok!!
I finally got a viritual machine up and running with Ubuntu.
I can see my files from the SD card.

I guess this poor device was forgotten when I changed out my network so If I could somehow find a file to edit the network ID and password it might work??

I dont know what file this info could be in and another thing… How do I open the files in Ubuntu to edit them as text files. I tried to open one file with a text editor but the machine crashed… the files are called binary here in ubuntu…

I suggest you now backup the entire config directory, including hidden files.

Then start from scratch. Restore the backup. Profit!

if opening a file with a text editor causes a crash you have a serious problem… try a different editor, I am using Nano from the terminal and it has been working well

I cant get ownership of those files… I tried sudo chown USER:USER FOLDERNAME but it changes to read only… I can’t copy the files to make a backup since some folders are locked saying im not the owner…
ideas?
