Hi,
Can anyone think any way to edit config files in companion app when the HA is installed to docker?
There seems to be multiple questions found in Google, but no answers.

what is it you are actually trying to do?
what edits? to what files? to do what?

I would like to access the configuration files, basically everything under config/ as got used to it. Time to time needs to change something small there.
Also would be nice to have access to those files over HA web page so don't need to organize separate connection (over ssh?) when I am at the office, for example.
I can probably live without, but got so used to it with HAOS. And thought that everybody does it.

yeah, i think your gunna have to connect to the host system. or find a way to make your configuration changing via the normal ui. what type of config changes are you looking to make?

A good question. Who knows it beforehand? 🙂 yesterday I was playing with some null values in json for rest sensor.. Was testing different inputs there while feeding the kids, and had to go to pc to always change the values. 🙂

why the switch from haos to docker btw?

Well ended up doing it quite fast after chatting in another thread and somebody mentioned that raspberry SD cards are no good in longer run. Realized that maybe my sd card was already going to break because system was somehow got slower during past weeks. I have mini pc for NVR usage so just tried out how it would work and it worked mostly out of the box so here I am.
And system is still lagging (the new graphs cards loading slow?)
quick sand
yeah sd card is not a good way to use HA. get an ssd hat for rpi's
maiden mason
I have still the rpi, so maybe I jump back one day
quick sand
you could run haos in a vm instead of using docker to get more functionality
maiden mason
Yeah true. Need to think that. Not sure about the virtualization capabilities of my pc, and I am more familiar with dockers. But I guess that would be one option as well. Thanks for the hints
