I installed Home Assistant on my Synology and everything seems to be working. However, I made a mistake during installation: Instead of creating the folder for configuration I assumed incorrectly that the folder for the configuration would be created when I specified it in the installation command line. It wasn’t, and instead of stopping with an error the installation continued and now everything, including the configuration.yaml file, is inside the actual installation in @docker/volumes, in the folder with the very long numeric/hex name.
Is there any way to get the config file out of there without reinstalling? And if not, how do I do a clean uninstall to start again. I’ve searched for uninstall instructions but so far I’ve only found upgrading information…
Thanks! In the meantime I figured out how to remove it, first using the rem command via SSL and then deleting the image as well in the Docker panel in the Synology interface. I then created the folder and re-ran the installation. It really did re-install, because it re-downloaded all the components. However, nothing at all showed up in the home-assistant folder I had created in volume1 and pointed to in the command line.
So I’m still back where I started and unable to configure. The configuration file is once again hidden deep inside the protected image folder — I can locate it with find, but editing it would be next to impossible.
