How to change Hass.Io Docker installation configuration folder?

Ricardo_Franco · October 27, 2019, 2:25pm

Hey guys ,

Recently moved from Home Assistant to Hass.io docker install .

In Home Assistant it was easy to pick the configuration folder from a parameter at runtime.

How can I change my default configuration folder in a docker installation of Hass.io ?

I have multiple templates I want to try and being limited to using /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant as my main configuration folder would be extremely cumbersome for being able to switch easily between each different setup .

Couldn’t really find any info on how to do this .

Thanks !

i used this command to install Hassio in an OpenMediaVault system specifying config folder:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/hassio-installer/master/hassio_install.sh | bash -s -- -d "/home/dockeruser/.config/hassio".
you can have more info here:

you can look at parameters options.

it make everything needed for install and run docker.

Now i see this command running on my nas:

root@nas:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-mythfs# ps -ef|grep docker|grep hassio
root      6351  6313  0 Oct25 ?        00:00:10 docker run --name hassio_supervisor --privileged --security-opt apparmor=hassio-supervisor --security-opt seccomp=unconfined -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v /var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus -v /home/dockeruser/.config/hassio:/data -e SUPERVISOR_SHARE=/home/dockeruser/.config/hassio -e SUPERVISOR_NAME=hassio_supervisor -e HOMEASSISTANT_REPOSITORY=homeassistant/qemux86-64-homeassistant homeassistant/amd64-hassio-supervisor

Bye

Copying my comment from Reddit over here for others to see.

From that link you will find a link to the GitHub repo.

# Install Home Assistant Supervised

As an alternative to using the images which include the Home Assistant operating-system and Docker, it is also possible to run Home Assistant on a generic system running another Linux of your choice such as Ubuntu, Debian, etc as Supervised. Because of all the various possible install options, these are more of a community supported installation choice. It follows that the more esoteric of a choice made with the OS, the less a user will find in terms of information and support from the community.

## Warning

The Supervisord system is designed to provide a full-featured environment that is comparable with Kubernetes, which is also a bad idea to run it by the side of another orchestrator on the same Host. The Supervisor is also not caring for other software they run on your Host, and it can affect things bad on both sides. You also need to know that the Home Assistant OS runs with less overhead on your Proxmox or other Hypervisor as if you install first Debian and Ubuntu. In most cases, it's not the best choice to run the Supervisord on top of a Linux, if you not 100% sure what you do. It is not just a container inside Docker!

**If you have issues, don't report this to us. You are self responsible for what you do, if you use this installer.**

## Requirements

We only support Linux distributions that follow the [FHS 3.0](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard)!

For an installation you already have running, the script sets up the share as:
DATA_SHARE=${DATA_SHARE:-$PREFIX/share/hassio}, which translates to /usr/share/hassio/homeassistant

You should be able to edit this directory path in the hassio-supervisor script. /usr/sbin/hassio-supervisor appears to be the default location if I am reading the script correctly.
