You can now ssh into your pi using vscode so no samba required.

So your local DNS/DHCP setup is bad.
Yes you can. No OH data is stored in firmware.
Use debugmode=maximum.
Hi,
Lots of new modems these days add a suffix to the machine name. I understand that this is due to the network not having a network group name or domain.
You may find that the DNS in your modem has actually added a home suffix like this
http://openhabiandevice.home:8080/
Look across your network at other devices e.g. Tasmota devices and see if they have a home or similar suffix added.

Thank you for your kindness 
Thats odd because I burned the image on a new 32 bit sd card.
I did a complete fresh install.
Yet my start page I was using on OH2.5.x appeared when I went to do my layout/start page on OH3.x.
Where could that have come from?
@NW27
Thank you also.
I checked my other devices and they are not like that.
THANK YOU @ EVERYONE FOR ALL THE HARD WORK IN 2020 AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

Yes, change the OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT environment variable.
It’s difficult to answer because it depends on how much you plan to put on. But yes, openHABian makes it easier to set up an out of a box rounded solution, it’s probably not your solution though. If you’re familiar with Linux and want a slightly custom flavour, install openHAB’s apt/yum/dnf package or in a docker container on your choice of OS.

Can someone please explain the relationship (if any) between the choices under openHabian Config Menu 41 and the respective version of openHAB that it will install? Is it as follows? (And if so, is there a reason why openHabian Config uses different wording than openHab does?)
- Release <=> Stable
- Testing <=> Milestone
- Snapshot <=> Snapshot

Yeah, the reasoning is not great, but it has to do with the names for the repositories that contain the packages in apt. We should probably change it but that was the original reasoning.
After opening this post openHABian 1.6.4 I saw that I should have better added it here. So at least here is the link.
the new frontail GUI looks very good. but what do I need to change to get it activated (openhabian 1.6.4 main is installed)?
EDIT:
found it by myself. restarting frontail.service does not help.
You need to reinstall frontail (run openhabian-config, menu 21)
I have an openHABian installation that still uses the openhabian-config of version v1.4.1-474(174b148). When I start it it does not automatically offer to update itself to 1.6.x, and a manual update also does not do this update but stays with 1.4.x. What would be the correct way to update this version to v1.6.5 to be able to fix the Bintray legacy issue? I am still on OH2.5.x and would appreciate to stick with it for the time being. Also, I already changed the entry in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list from
deb https://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 stable main
to
deb https://openhab.jfrog.io/artifactory/openhab-linuxpkg stable main
to be able to use apt-get again. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
The problem with Bintray is only if you install from an older image, on a running system you just need to change the repos like you already did so I don’t think you have to do anything.
For what you want to do, there is no supported procedure, your openHABian is too old.
To get it up to latest you can try the commands below but be prepared and take a backup of your system first, just in case things go wrong.
[12:39:15] root@devpc:/home/markus# cd /opt/openhabian/
[12:39:21] root@devpc:/opt/openhabian# git checkout stable
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
I’m on it to migrate from Windows based to LInux Debian and installed openHABian few times over the past days and all works fine since yesterday :-/
It now appears that openHAB will now longer being installed as service and openhab User/Group is also missing. Was there a recent change which might cause this issue??
I followed official Docu at openHABian | openHAB which as I said worked before yesterday.

Many thanks for assistance.
What’s the hardware ? Looks like RPi, but then you must not manually install but use the image.
Read the debug guide and provide a debug level log.
it’s a virtual Linux Container running on Proxmox. As said: All was fine few days ago (I installed this VM several times over the past days) I’ve created a step by step instruction for this, which also was working the day before yesterday. Since yesterday evening I run into this issue.
Again: what’s the hardware ? Your log looks like it believes you’re on RPi.
And what do you mean by ‘container’ - a VM ?
“it worked before” is useless to identify the reason here.
As said:
Sorry for being so explicit but you really have to give all relevant data, and you should always do that upfront. No potential helper wants to waste their time and motivation getting after this.
