Server is currently not running (after power outage)

What is the problem?
server is currently not running page is displayed when trying to access the web page.

I've been having some issues where the sever don't always start on boot, rebooted would fix it. But now I am trying to boot after a power outage and rebooting isn't helping.

What did you already try to solve it?
ps -ef | grep -i octoprint - doesn't return anything
sudo service octoprint - restart doesn't help

Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, octoprint.log, serial.log or output on terminal tab, ...)
RPi 3
the command to check the version throws an error but I believe its 1.3.6 (1.3.8? - see error msg) / 0.14

nothing obvious in the log but I get this error trying to start the sever:

I don't have a firm answer for you, but have you tried another SD card or reimaging your card? It's possible that your SD card is corrupted from all your power failures while it was running. RPis are known to sometimes corrupt SD cards when they aren't properly shut down, and it sounds like yours has experienced that multiple times.

This wouldn't be the first time I've had to reformat in the past year or so. Is there a way to recover/backup my settings and plugin config?

Sort of, if they haven't been corrupted. I'd suggest backing up regularly onto something that you keep safe from power events. Below are a few articles/threads for you to read that should help you with backing up and restoring, though it's not fully automated. I'd suggest reading through them all and the included links before you start in on it.
