I just lost all my habpanel config .... Why !?

No reboot, no update no file change but today I came home and all my habpanel where weird …so I check the config and realize I only have local config … WHY ?? is there a way the get thing back ?

I try to restart oprnhab but it does nothing

I had the same thing happen to me. My local storage was up to date on one machine, so I saved that local storage to a new panel configuration, but I also have no idea what happened.

I was changing other configuration, adding in a new module for a NetAtmo weather station, but I didn’t update OH2 packages or anything like that, so it was a surprise.

Unfortunately, I had no way to repeat it, so I have no way to really log an issue; It happened, I saved a local config, and it has been back working ever since.

I realise that most of my config wasn’t to hard to recreate but now I made a backup off everything !!

would this be the case ?

Just had the same problem : all configuration including custom panels lost after I changed the IP address and hostname of the computer openhab is running on.
Any chance of rescuing any of these settings ?

Try changing the IP/hostname back to previous state.
Browser’s local storage will keep all your HABPanel data.
After that remember to export your Panel configuration to file.

http://youropenhab:8080/habpanel/index.html#/settings/localconfig

Then change your hostname again and import your settings here:

http://yourNEWopenhab:8080/habpanel/index.html#/settings/localconfig

@ysc would it make sense to point that in the docs?
openHABian makes it possible to change hostname easily.

Hope that helps.
Cheers!
