Hi everyone, I recently upgraded my openHAB setup from version 3.2.0 to 3.3.0 using Docker, and I’m encountering some issues. I thought I’d share my experience in case others are facing the same problem or have suggestions for a fix.
The upgrade process seemed straightforward at first. I followed the standard procedure, updating the Docker image and restarting the container. However, after the upgrade, the container wouldn’t start properly. The logs showed that it was stuck at the ‘Launching the openHAB runtime…’ stage, and no further progress was made.
I decided to dig deeper into the issue. First, I checked the permissions and volumes to ensure everything was correctly mounted. The volumes for configuration, userdata, and addons were all accessible, and the user and group IDs matched what was expected. I also verified that the Java environment was correctly set up, as I’ve heard that Java issues can sometimes cause startup problems.
Next, I looked into the logs more closely. I noticed that there were no error messages pointing to a specific issue, which made it a bit challenging to diagnose. I tried increasing the log verbosity by modifying the log4j2.xml file, but unfortunately, that didn’t provide any additional insights.
I also considered the possibility of a corrupted instance. To test this, I completely removed the existing container and volumes, then reinitialized everything from scratch. While this approach worked temporarily, the issue resurfaced after a few days, which suggested that the problem wasn’t with the initial setup but rather with the upgraded version itself.
I’m now reaching out to the community in hopes that someone might have encountered a similar issue or has a workaround. If anyone has successfully upgraded to 3.3.0 without encountering these problems, I’d love to hear about your setup and any steps you took to ensure a smooth transition.
Thank you in advance for any advice or suggestions you might have!
