HB UI not running after Debian Installation Tutorial

Hi,

i followed the Debian Installation Guide without any issues, there was no error during setup etc. I finally commits: ` Installing Homebridge Service
ℹ Creating default config.json: /var/lib/homebridge/config.json
ℹ Starting Homebridge Service…
✔ Homebridge Started

Manage Homebridge by going to one of the following in your browser:

• http://localhost:8581
• http://192.168.0.112:8581

Default Username: admin
Default Password: admin `

But after that I cant open one of the website/port combinations.

So I tried: root@Homebridge:~# hb-service status ℹ Testing hb-service is running on port 8581... ✖ Homebridge UI Not Running

and after that: root@Homebridge:~# hb-service restart ℹ Restarting Homebridge Service ℹ Restarting Homebridge Service... ✔ Homebridge Restarted root@Homebridge:~# hb-service status ℹ Testing hb-service is running on port 8581... ✖ Homebridge UI Not Running

And I cant even post the logs here because: root@Homebridge:~# hb-service logs ✖ ERROR: Log file does not exist at expected location: /var/lib/homebridge/homebridge.log

The “root” thing isnt the problem, I get the same with the homebridge user. I can see the config.json in the correct folder:

{ "bridge": { "name": "Homebridge 15CE", "username": "0E:42:54:99:15:CE", "port": 51755, "pin": "605-79-582" }, "accessories": [], "platforms": [ { "name": "Config", "port": 8581, "platform": "config" } ] }

Does anybody have the same problem or can tell me whats the thing to check now Thank you for the help

ahh I really forgot the Kernel Upgrade, I started this as lxc on my QNAP with buster image and just did a update & upgrade, thought that I should be fine. Your fix worked, starting now without issues, but I think I upgrade the kernel and go in the “normal way” to dont get issues later. Thank you very much for your fast help!!! You made my day
