[Bug]: Immediately crashes on startup

[rodalpho]

What happened?

Just installed the matterbridge HA addon for the first time. It initially seemed to work fine for 5 minutes but now the addon crashes upon startup complaining about some file being invalid. I can't find that file, even logging in directly to the CLI from the console, maybe it's inside the container.

I did not change ANY configuration at all, and tried resetting the config in HA also.

Your configuration

include_domains: []
include_patterns: []
include_labels: []
include_platforms: []
exclude_domains: []
exclude_patterns: []
exclude_labels: []
exclude_platforms: []
frontend_port: 8283
matter_port: 5540
overrides: |
  {
    "domains": {
    },
    "entities": {
    }
  }

That's a bug some users faced with matterbridge. I still don't know exactly why it is happening...

The file is in the container that's right. On your home assistant instance (outside the container), you should find the file at /addon_configs/xxxxxxxx_matterbridge/storage/.matterbridge/ or similar.

Please delete just the corrupted file, not the directory.

[rodalpho]

That did fix the issue, thank you! Any way to avoid it recurring? I really hadn't done anything in the addon yet.

[t0bst4r]

Are there any other files? Could you delete them all? But still not the parent dir

[yqkee0411]

Well, deleting the whole directory and reinstalling the addons fixed the issue for me, Thanks

[rodalpho]

There were a number of files in there, but I have it working now so don't want to mess with it further, unless you believe that will avoid recurrence.

I have the same issue :(

[siobhanellis]

I have the same issue and I'm running the appliance version.

I have the terminal add-on, so managed to delete the files in storage/.matterbridge... That didn't work I also deleted the matterbridge.json (Which was empty) and coped matterbridge.backup.json to matterbridge.json (As suggested by the error) that didn't work either.

[yqkee0411]

I have the same issue and I'm running the appliance version so not sure how I delete the file from the HA CLI. Anyone?

I delete the file through the add on samba share using windows file explorer
