Default_config error changed to cloud in config.yaml now 404 not found

[lsmad (Lsmad3844)]

My HA cloud service vanished from configuration, log message said default_config, read something about cloud instead of default_config, change it in configuration.yaml and now I receive 404:not found
I am running HA on Virtualbox, I am very green and have no idea what I am doing or how to fix. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Forgot to mention I don’t have any backups as just started.

My HA cloud service vanished from configuration

The Default Config integration of Home Assistant enables a default set of integrations, including Home Assistant Cloud.
So if you have this in your configuration.yaml the Cloud integration should work:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
default_config:

If for some reason you do not want to use the Default Config integration, you can also enable the Home Assistant Cloud integration by adding this to your configuration.yaml:

# Example configuration.yaml entry to enable the cloud component
cloud:

Next you should be able to further configure the Cloud integration through the Home Assistant Configuration web interface.

Does this make sence?

Hi @thusassistint thank for coming back to me, it makes sense but I have no access at all Nabu casa cloud or HA, I found the link below and this is exactly what I have done, but the solution won’t work for me as running Virtualbox on windows laptop. Thanks again

Changed default_config to cloud in configuration.yaml now Receive 404: Not Found

Started using Nabu Casa. After changing default_config: to cloud: in configuration.yaml, I now receive 404: Not Found when attempting to login. I also cannot SSH in either. EDIT: Cannot remote connect through Nabu Casa as well.

There’s no solution in that linked topic, only a suggestion and the topic’s author never replied to confirm what did or didn’t work.

1. Why did you replace default_config with cloud? There’s simply no log message from Home Assistant that would advise to do that.

2. You need to gain access to the virtual machine’s file system so that you can edit configuration.yaml and put default_config back.

Unfortunately, if you do not have SSH access, you are out of luck from my limited knowledge. I had to erase my drive and reload HA. I luckily had a backup. Definitely recommend an immediate snapshot once you get back up.

Sorry, I do not have a better answer.

Good luck!
