Yes opensource. Who speaks from commercial use? my Pi with openhab worked until update, and now all is gone.

Well, we still don’t know what gone wrong…
Fill in the details

If I would know…

It worked, before
What java?
What OH version?
Are you using SD card or booting from USB?

What did you change?
What did you do step by step and it stopped?

Help us…

Can you connect to my notebook and see? :slightly_smiling_face:

What do you mean it’s all gone
No logs?
Can you ssh in the pi?
what does sudo systemctl status openhab2.service show?

I can not play with that anymore. I just need some switches to work 99,99% of the time.

After update stopped to work.
mqtt.fx did still connect to pi.
after my superior intervention does not anymore. I tryed to reformat sdcard all from scratch. but does not work

Do you have any configuration backups or have you cloned your SD card with entire content ? If you use SD cards it’s always good practice to have second card ready with the same system on it.

No.
I will go once again from scratch and if then does not work…

i’ll try again :frowning:

Still you seem to be able to connect to your system. Is there any hints in the openhab.log or system logs?
I mean, even if you are setting up the system from scratch, you should now what happened either to avoid it in the future or to find a quick way of getting the system up and running again.

mqtt.fx does not connect to pi

Is your problem that only MQTT isn’t working anymore or OpenHab in general?

which broker are you using? which port?
is the broker running (use ps -A on the shell to check if it is)?
Do you get an error when starting the broker from the shell?
Did IP adress change on the PI?
Have you tried connecting to the broker by its IP adress?
Edit:
To which OpenHab version did you update your system?

can you just connect to my pc and see? there are to many questions and i do not know where to look

No we’ll NOT connect to you PC. This is NOT a helpdesk.
You have to get the basic parts right yourself. Gazillions of ressources on the Internet.

Come on…!!

No, we´re not a helpdesk - But we´re NOT stupid either…

This guy needs help as to where to look to provide the informations which are required. And he probably need help to explain himself.

He actually did give some information which could be usefull (perhaps)…

  1. Update - (assume its openhab and probably to the latest 2.4)
    and
  2. mqtt…

Maybe this could help him:

Another possible help. Direct him to the log files, so we´re able to see whats going on.
Answer could be:
http://IP_OF_HIS_RPI:9001 is he´s running the tail log.
Or
/var/log/openhab2/ to look at the logfiles.

Took me just a few seconds. Hopefully, based on his very limited informations, (but obvious major frustrations), this can get him a bit futher… If not, then we´ll take it from there.
I know you think he should have search for this himself first. But if he doesn´t know how to, or even whats wrong, how the hell can a search be usefull in anyway

As said - We´re not stupid either!

If you were using the mqtt 1.x binding then did the upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4 then you need to turn on legacy binding via paperUI and install the 1.x mqtt binding again.

After that I would clean the cache and reboot with these commands.

sudo systemctl stop openhab

sudo openhab-cli clean-cache

sudo reboot
