#FileEditor 5.8 : HA on RPi 5 : Access to /config

Wonder if anyone can help, going round in circles here.

I am trying to access /config folder which I understand where the core YAML files are stored when running on a RPi.

In v5.7 the default startup folder was changed to /homeassistant so I have changed in configuration to allow access to all folders.

When I navigate to '/' I do not see the '/config' folder, however when I access HA Pi using Terminal I do see the folder (see below highlighted)

➜ ~ ls

addon_configs addons backup config homeassistant media share ssl`

Here are FileEditor YAML, I have tried to edit and Add

start_path: /config

But understand this is now not possible.

Running latest HA

Any advice / suggestions?

Are you sure that /homeassistant wasn't your config directory?

I don't think they changed that default to force people to go through a bunch of steps to get to their config directory

For me, there are files in /homeassistant which all seem to be default one, but for some reason for me, the working secrets.yaml and configuration.yaml are all in /config.
Some Googling pointed me to the fact that on a RPi installation that this is where the configuration is stored.

Those look identical to me

#

Where HA finds its config and where the addon does aren't necessarily the same

can try the samba add-on and share the config folder

What does 'ls -al /' show as I believe /config would be a link to /homeassistant
