Even though it’s not recommended, it generally works (I had one a long time ago and I got rid of it after accidentally breaking the antenna ^^).
To get a clearer view you should go to the zigbee2mqtt dashboard:
the IP address of your Gladys with port 8080 at the end.
For example : http://192.168.1.12:8080
There you’ll find in the settings the button that allows you to enable pairing:
See if it works from that button 
Hello and Thank you
The IP address is not responding …however I have [file:///home/jean-jacques/Images/Capture%20d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%20du%202024-06-14%2006-44-57.png](file:///home/jean-jacques/Images/Capture%20d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%20du%202024-06-14%2006-44-57.png)
I’m not sure I attached the screenshot?? I really have a lot of gaps in my knowledge.
We all have them!
Indeed, we can’t see your screenshots.
Since I haven’t yet found the solution from the screenshot, I’ll describe it , In Settings / System / Container … /gladys-z2m-zigbee2mqtt it has been stopped for 3 days
Stopped …
Did you go and configure your dongle here:
Do you have the green arrows here:
For screenshots, you can try a simple copy-paste…
I followed this procedure… (thanks to the training). But I never got the green arrows… However, from what I
Don’t worry, I don’t think you broke anything, but we’ll need to investigate a bit.
It seems you installed Gladys on Ubuntu.
I assume you therefore have SSH access to your machine?
If that’s the case, we’ll need to take a look at the logs.
To do that, can you first show us the output of the command:
sudo docker ps -a
Keep us posted!
@MABILLE ,
I think you must be confusing some things.
When you talk about « Allow association » are you talking about this button below in the Zigbee Discovery tab?

Hello … so as not to bother you any longer, I’ll put the dongle installation on hold until the Sonoff dongle is received … Thank you very much
Don’t be afraid to bother us!
We’re here to help and make sure everyone can get it working…
It looks like your ZigBee2MQTT container is restarting in a loop.
Most of the time, it’s just a configuration issue that went wrong.
We can help you investigate if you want…
Can you give us the output of the command ‹ docker logs gladys-z2m-zigbee2mqtt ›

There are still 15 pages or even more like this one… Should I attach them??
No need to post the 15 pages, they’re messages that repeat in a loop.
The 2 lines that interest us are
Indeed: I have a password for the Gladys account… and another, a bit stronger, for the SSH connection… Should I unify them??
It’s your ZigBee2MQTT container that can’t connect to the MQTT container.
This configuration is supposed to be automatic and you shouldn’t have to do anything about it…
The simplest thing, in my opinion, would be to do the following:
sudo rm -r /var/lib/gladysassistant/zigbee2mqttIn the meantime I tried to make the two passwords the same… After that I followed the instructions and after a few minutes I ran the command docker logs gladys…
gladys@gladys:~$ sudo rm -r /var/lib/gladysassistant/zigbee2mqtt
gladys@gladys:~$ docker logs gladys-z2m-zigbee2mqtt

On the next restart of Gladys, the service will start again. Depending on the power of your machine and the speed of your network, starting this service in « Install from Gladys » can take between 2 minutes and 1 hour. It is possible to permanently disable the service from this page: Settings \u003e Services.

To be honest Jean-Jacques it’s difficult to help you because the messages you send are not exactly crystal clear
First of all, remember to use the preformatted text option on the forum when you copy something that comes from your SSH commands. That makes the formatting readable (I’ve edited your previous messages accordingly).
It’s that thing, in the toolbar when you write a message :
Next you need to learn how to take screenshots.
For that I invite you to look on the internet, otherwise depending on the device from which you access your Gladys dashboard, you can simply use the key on your keyboard: prt sc or print screen, it copies your screen, you just have to paste it here with ctrl+v directly.
If you haven’t configured anything in Gladys yet, I think the wisest thing for you, before getting too tangled up, would be to wait for the arrival of your « final » SONOFF dongle and I’ll reinstall everything cleanly from the beginning. You can keep your Ubuntu Server install, but everything that concerns the Docker containers you’ll have to remove and recreate.
Tell us what you think 
No, you shouldn’t have touched the password! The SSH password has nothing to do with the Gladys password. And @guim31, by mentioning a password issue, was referring to the password for the MQTT broker of the zigbee2mqtt integration but it’s totally transparent — you can’t change it yourself from Gladys.
By the way, do you know how to take screenshots? Because you just did a copy/paste so we can’t see the images…
After running the command suggested by @GBoulvin sudo rm -r /var/lib/gladysassistant/zigbee2mqtt did you enable the zigbee2mqtt service in Gladys before checking the logs?
Otherwise, are you sure about the USB port where the dongle is connected?
You should also show us with a screenshot the USB port configuration to see the option you have.
And run the command lsusb so we can check if the chosen USB port is correct.
