Update OpenHab and HAPPanel

[Birgit_Lachner]

Hi,
I’m writing this for my husband how is the one who installed OPenHab and HabPanel. So I try to discribe what the problem is:
He is updating OpenHab, that is running on an RasPi 3. He had some problems with the update, including the root user being kicked out with a script. Fortunately, he backed up the hard drive.
But now to the problem I’m asking about:
He would like to move all the settings, configurations etc. from the old HABPanel to the new version. He assumes that he has to look for a place in the file system where files are stored that contain everything he needs to copy, but he can’t find anything.

Can anyone give us a tip on how to move HABPanel from the previous OpenHab version to a new one?

Thanks,
Birgit

He would like to move all the settings, configurations etc. from the old HABPanel to the new version.

If you are updating from openHAB 2.x to 3.x this should get you going:

OH3: import HabPanel from another (OH2) server instance

Sorry, the HABPanel storage backend had to be changed, and is not compatible. You can go the panel settings on the OH2 instance, click on “Edit the local panel configuration (experts only)” under “Local storage”. Then copy the code or export it with the button. Go to the same screen on your OH3 instance, and paste or import. Then on the previous screen, save it under a new name with “Save the current configuration to a new panel configuration”. Repeat for each configuration you want to migrat…

It has been awhile but I think you have to save the panel configuration or it is only stored on the device. Check out the docs for habpanel for about data persistence
