Configurator/File Editor for HA Core in Docker

Development
1

I just moved over my HA install from Supervised on generic Linux to HA Core in Docker. I would still like to use the add-on Configurator for editing yaml files. I tried several docker version of Configurator but was unable to use the built in features like restarting HASS. It did not find any of my entities in the left column either. Is this a setup issue or is it just not possible to use these features of the program with Core in Docker? What yaml editors are people using with Core? I would like to make an occasional edit on my mobile app so I want something light.

Here is my docker compose file for configurator:

version: "3.7"
services:
  configurator:
    container_name: configurator
    image: causticlab/hass-configurator-docker:x86_64
    restart: always
    network_mode: host
    labels:
      - "com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true"  # for Watchtower automatic updates
    ports:
      - "3218:3218/tcp"
    volumes:     
      - ${HASSIODIR}:/config   # map this volume to your hassio config directory
    environment:   
      - HC_BASEPATH=/config
      - HC_HASS_API_PASSWORD=${CONFIGURATORPSWD}  #Create a Long-Lived Access Token
      - HC_IGNORE_SSL=True      
      - PUID=${PUID}
      - PGID=${PGID}
      - TZ=${TZ}'

Let me know if you get stuck!

Very noob question here.
What variables do I have to change there, with what values and whats the command to run this?
I just need the docker compose yaml?
Thanks

You will need to change the volumes and environment section and remove the labels section if you are not using watchtower.

Here is the github link:
