Thank you again!

@TheHellSite: There is /etc/openhab3 where you can store your files for file based config. The config you do in the GUI is stored in /var/lib/openhab3/jsondb.

Where does this version of OpenHAB store all the config files, i.e. things, items,...? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

@ChaosKid42 Yes, I figured this out myself. But thank you.

For everyone else:

1. sudo pacman -S git jre11-openjdk-headless
2. mkdir git && cd git
3. git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/archlinux-java-run.git && cd archlinux-java-run
4. makepkg -sirc
5. cd .. && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/openhab3.git && cd openhab3
6. makepkg -sirc

@TheHellSite: You probably need to install archlinux-java-run from the aur first.

@doits: If you install openhab3 your old config won't be migrated. I also don't know how to do it manually. Sorry.

I am having trouble installing it.

[archie@archlinux ~]$ sudo pacman -S archlinux-java-run java-runtime-headless=11

Is there any upgrade path from 2.5 to 3? In https://community.openhab.org/t/apt-yum-and-dnf-migration-from-oh2-to-oh3-stable/110771 is say about detecting old config and copying/migrating it:

If the install of openHAB 3 detects an existing openHAB 2 install, then it will copy the configurations across and update using those files

I don't think it is done when installing openhab3 here. Is there a way to start this manually?

Oh nice, I see you fixed minimum jre confusion by pulling in archlinux-java-run.

I worked around my default jre8 by providing JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk/ within /etc/defaults/openhab3

I'll try it out at weekend (I hope it will work, because M4 has some major bugs https://community.openhab.org/t/openhab-3-milestone-builds/106329/5 )
