homarr suddenly believes it is a new installation
🔌Modules
I have completed the migration months ago.
homarr is a docker container on ds.
Here is my custom override (see attachment).
I have also checked access to the config and db, but everythings seems to be in order.

Solution
Our team noticed that you are using the new version of Homarr (>1.0.0) with the mounting points of the legacy version (<=0.16.0).
This is an issue, because Homarr 1.0 and after is relying on the new paths to be mounted and persisted.
To rectify, please follow the following steps:
- Immideatly backup the exported JSON from your legacy Homarr or copy all mounted directories to another host.
- Follow the upgrade procedure on our blog: https://homarr.dev/blog/2025/01/19/migration-guide-1.0
- Make sure that you no longer have any mounting points for
- Start your container again and re-import your JSON. To ensure it's working correctly, destroy the container once (e.g. with docker compose down) and re-create it. If everything works, you will not be re-prompted for JSON import.
Please note that Homarr uses https://semver.org/ which indicates such breaking changes using the "major" number increment. Regular backups are strongly recommended. Type "!qa 321" for more information.
