  • Platform information:
    • Hardware: _x64
    • OS: Ubuntu LTS 18
    • openHAB version: 2.5

My OpenHab runs since years - was updated a few times and all in all it goes really well.

It runs in a docker container under ubuntu.

No I got wire problems wie Zwave (every view seconds it dedicate ma USB stick and after that it work and goes offline…)

Thought it a bug cause of early 2.5 → updated to latest and now my container wont start anymore.

Error in Log:
Launching the openHAB runtime…
JAVA_HOME is not valid: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java

Played a bit with environmet settings and installed new java versions

JAVA_HOME has to point to a directory . According to your log entry it looks like it would point to the java binary itself. It needs to point to /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/ or /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre

I had the same when I updated docker this weekend.
my solution was to remove the JAVA_HOME variable from the container settings… than it just worked.
did not (need to) bother about the corrected folder.

How are you updating this installation? The normal way is to replace the old version Docker container with a newer version. Java is included in the container.
