The log file shows the following error:

Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Did re-installing or restoring it from a backup help? Note that you should reboot (not restart) after restoring a backup.

I just finished trying that

#

I went back to 1.39.1-1 and it complained that it could not load the herdsman module. I tried upgrading again, and it looks like it is magically loading again.

#

I am not certain what caused it to start working again 🙂

#

The package.json is a part of the container's file system and it seems like it was corrupt somehow.

#

I see. Could it be a sign of bad blocks on the SD card or wear leveling gone wrong?

agile sail Sep 18, 2024, 10:56 AM

#

Maybe. We usually recommend SSDs. SD Cards can corrupt easily but if it caused this I cannot tell you.

#

ACK. I currently run it on an RPi - hence the SD card. Thank you so much for the help!

#

SSDs work on the Pi 😉

#

The downside is that on the Pi4 and older they're USB connected, and you have to use an externally powered hub

#

Right. I think I also used to turn off the USB port to make it run as low power as possible before I just went with HAOS. Presumably a case of pre-mature optimization. I will look into getting and SSD addon for the rpi.
