Hello everyone,

There was a Matterbridge update two days ago and since then it’s not working, the container keeps restarting and I can’t access the interface.

Has anyone else had the same issue?

Hi,

I don’t use the Matterbridge built into Gladys but rather externally on another VM.

Could you please provide logs via the command which should be:

> docker logs gladys-matterbridge

Hi, I’m also using matterbridge externally.

```bash
sudo docker logs --tail 50 matterbridge

```

After the update, it tries to install the plugin matterbridge-ai-factory-gardena-smart-system created by the factory. However, it doesn’t exist on npm, so this keeps happening in a loop.

Yes, I had the same problem with the Daikin plugin.

I had to start from scratch with MatterBridge ☹ Be careful, this erases everything on MatterBridge and the different Matter associations (The following commands have been tested only on an instance external to Gladys).

> docker compose down  
> rm -r .matterbridge/  
> rm -r .mattercert/  
> rm -r Matterbridge/  
> docker compose up -d

You need to report your problem to the AI so it can fix it.  
Apparently, the Yeelight plugin did not encounter this problem.

For my part, the AI fixed it for my plugin 🙂 on the old issue:

The bug is present on the new issue created on the Daikin plugin (I will ask it to fix it when I have been able to test that the previous bug is well resolved 🙂:

Hi,

Every time I restart Matterbridge or update it, the plugin stops working and I have to upload it manually.

do you have a solution to avoid this?

Also, since the 3.10 update, it doesn’t work at all. I saw that you had the same problem @prohand

As for the issue since 3.10, I can’t determine if the problem comes from matterbridge or the plugins that need to be updated

Edit: The AI has indeed fixed my plugin for version 3.10 😉

Thanks for the info, but I admit I didn’t understand everything… so is it resolved for local plugins or do I need to do something else?

The AI also fixed my V3.10 issue 😉
