Domoticz

Hello,
I tried updating Domoticz to 2025.2 today. Unfortunately, it went terribly wrong because I hadn't noticed this update was for Bookworm with OpenSSL 3.0, which I don't have.
Now Domoticz won't start anymore. Does anyone know if this can be fixed? My backup has an error in it and isn't working either.

Maybe this info can help you...
To update your OS from bullseye to bookwork you can use this guide:

Hi
Thanks for your reply, I'll look into it.

The update script also made a FULL Domoticz backup, did that have an error? https://wiki.domoticz.com/Raspberry_Pi# ... ect_update

Hello,
I've tried your suggestion in several ways. Unfortunately, I only get error messages, which means it won't work. I made a backup from a few months ago, and that works for everything except ZigBee. None of my backups include ZigBee devices, which I don't understand. The backups I always make are of the entire SD card—an image, that is. I'm currently restoring all 21 ZigBee devices. Once this is done, I'm considering doing everything again with a clean install, not with Bookworm.

Hi,
I didn't know that about those backups. I'm already restoring everything from a backup I made a few months ago (on a different SD card). I can still try your suggestion, and I definitely will. I've learned something new.
