My Board is gone after trying to get Health Status to work on newly installed 1.24.0
Help! My board is no where to be found now. I had everything working with my full stack and just upgraded from the pre 1.0 version to 1.24.0 and all went smoothly other that getting the Health status from my dash. to show up so I was trying anything I could think of including deleting the widget and starting over. I removed something in the danger zone of the integration and now everything is gone and I can’t even create a new board. When they mean danger they mean danger! Any help?

Can I install Homarr on a Raspberry Pi?
Running in docker on macOS Sequoia 15.5
Homarr 1.24.0
Docker -compose
homarr:
container_name: homarr
image: ghcr.io/homarr-labs/homarr:latest
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- /Users/brenthuskins/Documents/homarr/appdata:/appdata
ports:
- '7575:7575'
environment:
- SECRET_ENCRYPTION_KEY=##############
restart: unless-stopped
Not sure, but I think there is no danger zone for integration, maybe you've deleted your user? Then it would make sense that you are no longer able to login / similar
If you still have your zip from the import & the secret encryption key, I'll suggest you to import it again, otherwise let me know and we find another solution
I have both the key and zip fortunately.
How do I get back to a point of reusing them?
Have you changed a lot in the current board? If not just remove the content of your mounted directory and start over
Not too much…
A bit of a docker noob though.
Running in Colima on the mac
There’s no content in my appdata folder
Or should I be looking somewhere else?
I’ve removed it all and I’m still stuck in a loop of an empty install but it has my icon for admin user , no boards or way to make a new one, 8 apps, 7 integrations…appdata is empty even after reinstall
I can get a login when I clear the cookies but there’s no import link.
Is there a way to force the page to include an import link?
Go to /Users/brenthuskins/Documents/homarr/appdata and run dir. Send me the result of that
It’s blank
No files or folders or hidden files or folders
I actually think my issue revolves around the first time docker compose was run with the above in it the /homarr/appdata folder was specified in the yaml fine but the folder was not added to the drive. So the first time it spun up it did what ever it did inside the volume and it didn’t get recorded on my physical drive. Now I can’t seem to delete that remnant no matter what I do with deleting and volume pruning etc before doing a new pull and reinstall. I even tried to create a whole new container name but the login apps and integrations remain…no board and no way to add a board…I’d assume I need help fully removing the volume and any of the stale data so it can be reinstalled fresh like it was never there.
What do you get back when you list your volumes
docker volume ls?
Also is that a phone or what are you running your homarr instance on?Homarr is on macOS running in docker via Colima. I just took the screenshot from my phone for simplicity. I’ll post the volumes once’s I’m back in front of it in a couple hours
Okay I'll proably only be able to respond in 9+ hours as I live in Europe and so we'll have night in a couploe of hours 😅
I’ll hurry 😉
No, all good. I'll probably only be up for about an hour. Don't worry 😉
brenthuskins@Mac-mini scripts % docker volume ls
DRIVER VOLUME NAME
local scripts_speedtest-data
That’s the only volume showing
Could it have attempted to use that volume?
Not sure what this volume is, you can view more details with
docker volume inspect scripts_speedtest-data, but it's most likely not for homarrNo its for a speed test app but that’s the only volume showing with my 5 containers running
brenthuskins@Mac-mini scripts % docker volume inspect scripts_speedtest-data

Turns out chatGPT 4.5 was able to set me straight!
Here’s what all I did to get a FULL cleansing of the improperly set up container.
docker system prune -a --volumes
Confirm nothing left:
docker ps -a | grep homarr
docker images | grep homarr
docker volume ls | grep homarr
Confirm no Colima volumes left behind:
colima ssh
sudo ls /var/lib/docker/volumes
if there is remove them
Repull the latest:
docker pull ghcr.io/homarr-labs/homarr:latest
Restart the container:
cd <to location of your compose yaml>
docker-compose up -d --force-recreate homarr
still wasn’t up at this point with repopulation of appdata:
Then I needed to:
colima stop
colima start --mount /Path##/To##/Documents##/homarr:w
forcing the mount
Then restart docker container
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d --force-recreate homarr
Then see if appdata is there:
ls -la /path###/to####/your####/homarr#####/appdata
that’s when it finally cleared and I have an import screen again!
Hopefully that’ll help someone else in the future. You have to get rid of ALL the gremlins!
