Zigbee2MQTT not starting after update

running Ha in unraid as a vm
Core 2025.3.0
Supervisor 2025.03.2
Operating System 15.0.rc1
Frontend 20250305.0
so did an update yesterday and now get this "The add-on is not running. Do you want to start it now? " which killed my zigbee from starting, i tried rolling back to a full backup from last month but still have the same problems, a bit of a newbie here but any ideas please ?

Best guess based on the lack of logs:

You installed “your zigbee” (I’m assuming Z2m based on the tag) config based on the port (something like /dev/ttyUSB0) rather than the /dev/serial/by-id path as mentioned here.

Basically, I suspect the update or, more likely, a restart by your VM caused the port of your device to change. You should be able to fix this if you unplug and replug the coordinator into various ports, but the actual long-term fix is to use serial by id in your Z2M config.
