No access to OH, only Basic UI

  • Platform information:
    • Hardware: RPi 3B+
    • OS: OpenHabian
    • openHAB version: 2.4 stable
    • SDD HD (no SD card)
    • AEON Gen5 Z-Wave stick
    • Several add-ons / bindings /services installed (InfluxDB + Grafana, Weather, Logitech Harmony, Alexa, Xiaomi GW…)
    • All THINGS are configured through PaperUI.
    • All ITEMS & RULES are configured in files.

The issue continues happening.

I have tried to clear the cache, but it happened again. This time the logviewer reported Internal Server Error and there was no SSH, but Paper UI (and even the OpenHAB mobile app) worked correctly.

I noticed that every time it happened, the last record on syslog was related to influxdb:

Does it mean that the issue is related to influxdb?
How do you suggest me to handle it?

Should I assume that the file system is corrupted, as @rlkoshak suggested, and go for installing OpenHabian & OpenHAB from the start?

What would be the best / safest / easiest way to re-install, while maintaining as much as possible from my existing configuration and rules?

Should I reformat my SSD HD, reinstall and then restore my configuration using the latest backup I have?

sudo openhab-cli restore /var/lib/openhab2/backups/filename.zip

Is it safe enough, to make sure I am not putting back the cause of the issue, by restoring a backup?
Will this re-install all the add-ons / bindings / services?
Will this keep all the “channel names” (including the Z-Wave nodes), or will I have to re-configure all items?

Is there a different process I should follow?
Is there a specific file / folder / anything I should keep before reformatting my SSD HD?

Thanks in advance.
