I wanted to understand what happened. I moved from Ubuntu in VirtualBox on a Windows PC to a dedicated machine. Installed same version of Ubuntu, 18.04, and I copied my config folder over. I matched all the files, permissions, and users, and folders, etc…
Home Assistant fired right up, but I could not login. The salt inside the auth_provider file in .storage was different, if I copied the one from the other machine back over, it would change it again.
I used this method…
Going into the container, making a new password, updated the file, restarting,then I was working again.
Does it make the salt from something on the host? It couldn’t be in the container…
Anything else I need to look out for from moving systems?
