I don't see any configuration for MQTT in the configuration tab

Newly installed in the addon store
I tried to check Docker in SSH but it's not installed

Is ther esomething to do ?

Thanks !

I get the same error and was searching to see if there's a solution. I'll be watching this to see if anyone knows how to fix it.

[houch80]

I also have the same error on a brand new install as well on the same os

Just installed new version 25.10.1-4. The behaviour is now different, but it still won't start. This is the current log output

The new image is likely not compatible as an addon

The new image is likely not compatible as an addon

So how can i configure it in Home Assistant ?

[alexbelgium]

I’m pushing a new version now. Normally you should recover all previous data

[xKronyx]

Ok cool, i don't mind for the previous data it's new to me, i am using Pi.Alert on a promox LXC, i want to try the addon and maybe remove my LXC to get everything in my Home Assistant, thanks for all your addons, you do a very good job !
