Terminal & SSH failed to start

[ghuh]

Describe the issue you are experiencing

It was working fine for over a year and then it decided it wouldn't come up after a reboot today.

I've tried restarting just the add-on and the whole machine. It just gives me the same error log.

As far as I can tell, nothing has changed with this add-on since I last rebooted HA so I have no idea why it isn't working.

What type of installation are you running?

Home Assistant OS

Which operating system are you running on?

Home Assistant Operating System

Which add-on are you reporting an issue with?

Terminal & SSH

What is the version of the add-on?

9.20.1

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Restart the system

I solved the problem by restoring my backup of this add-on from 2 months ago when I upgraded from 9.20 to 9.20.1. After the backup, everything worked fine again. I re-updated to 9.20.1 and everything is still working.

I'm going to close this since everything is working for me again on the latest version, but I suspect there is a bug somewhere that caused the issue in the first place which hasn't been resolved.
