File Integration for files in addon_config

Configuration
1

Some add-ons have their own database. Is there a way to track this using file size integration? Unfortunately, I can’t enable addon_configs in allowlist_external_dirs.

Anyone have any ideas or have done this before?

2

Do you mean the File Editor add-on? If so, there’s an Enforce Basepath option in the configuration - which you can turn off, allowing you to see addon_configs.

3

I mean the file size integration:

allowlist_external_dirs

4

Please provide the code you added to your configuration.yaml

An example

homeassistant:
  allowlist_external_dirs:
    - "/config" # Default configuration directory

You are trying to map a folder in the “/“ directory. That may not work with the file size integration it appears only certain folders are mappable with allowlist_external_dirs:

for example - "/tmp" works but - "/addon_configs" does not.

Yes that is my question is there a workaround or other option?
I don’t understand the limitation. Would be nice also to track the file size of add ons storage etc.

When you access the /addon_configs folder, do yuo see the specific file you are trying to monitor? The format matters

From the integration info

File paths should be absolute paths. For example: /config/home-assistant_v2.db to monitor the size of the default database.

Yes this is working:

homeassistant
  allowlist_external_dirs:
    - "/config" # Default configuration :directory
    - "/root"
    #- "/root/addon_configs"
    #- "/addon_configs"
    #- "/"

Example: /addon_configs/ca5234a0_paperless-ngx/data/db.sqlite3 is not working

Not tested, but

homeassistant
  allowlist_external_dirs:
    - "/config" # Default configuration :directory
    - "/root"
    - "/config/../addon_configs"
    - "/config/../addon_configs/ca5234a0_paperless-ngx/data"

Nope. Tried a lot of combination always:

" Konfigurationsfehler

Invalid config for ‘homeassistant’ at configuration.yaml, line 54: Not a directory ‘allowlist_external_dirs->2’, got ‘/config/…/addon_configs/ca5234a0_paperless-ngx/data’"

etc.

Could only try :frowning:

Thanks, any attempt is welcome. I’ve already tested a few things, but unfortunately, no success.

As I said, I don’t quite understand the restriction to config, why that is.
My VS Studio, etc., can also see the folders.
