Solution is to uninstall and the re-install mosquitto addon. Configuration and everything is still intact after that.

This wasn’t my experience. Uninstalling meant I lost the persistent mosquito database and so all retained messages.

I lost a lot of devices since the discovery was deleted. I’m not sure why the devices were deleted since the discovery payloads weren’t cleared but that’s what happened.

This is what I’m doing. I move now MQTT to a virtual debian machine with influxdb and Grafana with Promox. I don’t trust the add-ons anymore. After an update in home assistant. The system just remove all my data I had collected in influxdb (3month in total lost). Since then I move now all to a dedicated machine for that task. And Home assistant is also going to move from the Pi to the Virtual machine.

Your way probably better, im just not a fan of VMs unless you know exactly what youre doing, otherwise lots of simple things can get complicated later when having to deal with those layers.

Im old fashioned, my HA is on a NUC, my mqtt on a rpi, they are both battery backed to keep things running at all times
