WebUI down and reboot won't fix

Software SW help
1

Hi, my Omnia works like a charm and I seldomly connect to the WebUI.
A few weeks ago, I tried to connect in order to be sure an update was done.
I couldn’t connect, neither from 192.168.1.1 nor turris.local
Everything else is working, I can even connect using SSH but I’m clueless to what is happening and how to fix it.

When I tried to manually update :

root@turris:~# pkgupdate
INFO:Target Turris OS: 6.0.3
WARN:Requested package reforis-snapshots-plugin-l10n-fr that is missing, ignoring as requested.
WARN:Requested package reforis-data-collection-plugin-l10n-fr that is missing, ignoring as requested.
WARN:Requested package reforis-diagnostics-plugin-l10n-fr that is missing, ignoring as requested.

Thanks for your help !

Do you use http or https? Https is causing some problems.

It was in http, creating a certificate for https was on my todo list but never done.

Show the output of:
ls /etc/lighttpd/conf.d

Ok so it looks OK for the new lighttpd. No idea why it doesnt work.

Indeed, evrything seems fine.

Strange behaviour also, using dmesg make my ssh session crash…

Sorry to bump. I fear that my last message is misleading.
I still cannot connect to the Web UI and I don’t know how to investigate this.
Any ideas ?
If it’s not fixable, I’ll have to reinitialize the device. Is there a way to keep the configurations ? Do a backup using command line ?

You can copy /etc/config folder into your PC to save all configuration files.

I am using this tool for ssh or file copying: GitHub - subhra74/snowflake: Graphical SFTP client and terminal emulator with helpful utilities
