Not possible to do a fresh install a

joe197319 commented 3 months ago

Issue information:

I am using an Raspberry Pi 3B with Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) and openHAB 3.4.4 (Java11). I want to upgrade to openhab 4.x (Java17). First I did install a fresh installation of Debian 12.5 (bookworm) on a VM (Proxmox) for easier testing. Then I tried to install openHAB 3.4.4 (or 3.4.5) by using openhabian (like described at [https://community.openhab.org/t/openhabian-howto-install-openhab3-with-current-openhabian-image/148043]. But how can I install the openHAB version 3.4.4 (with Java 11) to restore my backup and upgrade to 4.x then? Unfortunately I did not suceed!

With the openhabian-config tool I can:

switch the branch (release, latest, legacy)
install the latest openHAB (4.x)
install manually the Java version (11 or 17 for example)

I did check the openhabian-conf file, there I can change the java-version and the branch also. But how can I install the openHAB version 3.4.4 or 3.4.5 (with Java 11) to restore my backup?

I found this on openHAB documentation:

openHABian will install openHAB 4 and Java 17 by default. The openHABian image will install openHAB 4 by default, to have it install openHAB 3 right from the beginning, set clonebranch=openHAB3 in openhabian.conf before first boot. Use clonebranch=legacy to get openHAB 2.

I tried this, but it results in an 4.x installation also.

Thank you very much for your commitment and your time!

Debug information:

Please provide all of the output provided by utilizing the debugmode=maximum parameter in the /etc/openhabian.conf file. For more information on how to accomplish this, please see openhabian-DEBUG.md.

Sorry, I did update the information. The goal is to update from openHAB 3.4.4 to 4.x.

ecdye commented 3 months ago

I may be misunderstanding but if your goal is ultimately to migrate to OH4 you should be able to simply start with a new install on OH4 and import your backup then.

joe197319 commented 2 months ago

Ah, ok! You mean, I can do a backup from my installation version 3.4.4 and import this in the new OH version 4.x? I thought I can import only the same version of OH: I will try this!

mstormi commented 2 months ago

No you cannot import OH3 config into OH4. Install a fresh openHABian system with OH3 (use clonebranch=openHAB3, see FAQ link), import your old OH3 config, and finally use the openhabian-config menu to upgrade that box to OH4. See https://community.openhab.org/t/openhab-4-migration-faq/148144
