For ubuntu desktop with hass.io installed i found it in.
/usr/share/hassio/homeassistant/configuration.yaml
you have
/config -> /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant
/share -> /usr/share/hassio/share
/addons -> /usr/share/hassio/addons
/backup -> /usr/share/hassio/backup
/ssl -> /usr/share/hassio/ssl

Im totally with you… Reading just doesnt do it for me, I have to do and read several times for it to sink in… Im at that same stage you are at right now after trying for a few months just to install home assistant on a Raspberry Pi3… Ive managed that and feel like a 4 year old who has just tied his shoe laces for the first time… Ill never be a Steve Jobs but all this is filling my time nicely and I might even get home automation out of it… 
Thanks for the info.
It is helpful.
On my manual install in Raspbian on my Raspberry Pi (not HASSIO or docker versions) it was here:
/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant
You probably solved it. Anyway the solution could help someone else.
I ran into your same problem, and I solve it with the linux “find” command via ssl:
find / -name “configuration.yaml”
my result is:
/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml
yours coud be different
I installed the Home Assistant 0.118.2, burning the hassos_rpi4-64-4.13.img in the sd card.
I’m looking for the components folder but I can’t find it.
I can find the configuration.yaml in the config folder but I can’t find the homeassistant folder.
I’ve already tried ‘find -name homeassistant’, but I get 0 results related.
I looked for any folder or file related with ls -lah in the usr/share, usr/local, config, cofig/.storage, usr/local/share, usr/local/lib, usr/src, but didn’t get anything related.
However, if I try to use flux_led in the configuration.yaml file, I get in the log a report of an error in homeassistant.components.light, line 368. So it does have the files somewhere, I just can’t find it.
If someone could give any clue, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
The components folder is inside the container for home assistant. You can’t make any persistent changes to anything in the container.

I installed it manually using this guide:
Now I can find the components folder inside
srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.8/site-packages/homeassistant
and configuration.yaml inside
.~/.homeassistant
However, I still can’t do what I wanted in first place, which was to connect my flyidea lamp via flux_led platform…
I have the following error displayed:
" Logger: homeassistant.components.flux_led.light
Source: components/flux_led/light.py:368
Integration: flux_led (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 6:55:06 PM (1 occurrences)
Last logged: 6:55:06 PM
Failed to connect to bulb 192.168.0.9, flux_living_room_lamp"
My configuration.yaml looks like this:
I also tried different variations, like adding ‘protocol: ledenet’ or mode:‘rgb’.
However, in any conditions, I still get the same error.
I’m trying to connect a flyidea rgb lamp. It works fine with the phone app ‘Magic Home-Smart Home’, but homeassistant can’t connect to the lamp. In the ‘Magic Home-Smart Home’ app I can see the light is accessed through ip 192.168.0.9, port 80.
In the ‘Magic Home-Smart Home’, the device info is as the following:
Good topic as I’m new in this. I put all my manual changes in this file. In configuration.yaml I can only see my integrations, sensors, etc.
But where are all the “generated” ones stored? The configuration from the UI selected integrations, etc.?
Update: Found everything now in hidden .storage folder. Are such dumb question not wanted here to get an answer from newbies? I searched a lot before, but in standard documentation, FAQs, etc. I was not able to find the answer.
Go to Supervisor in Home Assistant,
select Add-ons,
install File Editor then start it.
Select Open Web UI.
Click on the Folder icon,
this shows you alle the .yaml files.
Really THANK YOU.!!
I cannot locate my configuration.yaml as well. I don’t have /config/ folder in my local dictionary. Any thoughts? https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/virtualenv/ Here is how I install home assistant. Now my interface run as lovelace and it looks different than https://www.home-assistant.io/getting-started/configuration/. I don’t have the supervisor tab in the left. Do I install home assistant in a wrong way? Appreciate any advice. Thanks.
the file configuration.yaml is in: home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/ , from windows I see the folder home but is a diferent folder. I think the shared folder is not good for see the file from woindows
I installed Home Assistant Supervised under Ubuntu and the folders are here:
/usr/share/hassio

just do:

with root privileges and you’ll find every configuration.yaml on your system
