I am root on HA system but I cannot access the whole file system

1

Hi community,

I am working with HA since a few month now. I installed the HA OS in an VM on Proxmox. Everything works fine so far!

Now I installed a new addon for my solar environment called “GoSunGrow”. This seems to work also fine, but while troubleshooting at the beginning, I saw in the Addon Log, that a configuration file is written:

Using config file ‘/data/.GoSungrow/config.json’

Now I want to look into that file, but I cannot access it, because I can’t find it where it should be:

[core-ssh ~]$ cd /data
[core-ssh data]$ ls -la
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jul 11 09:37 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Jul 11 09:37 …
-rw------- 1 root root 5752 Jul 11 09:36 .bash_history
-rw------- 1 root root 0 May 6 2022 .bash_profile
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jun 9 09:14 .ssh
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 6 2022 host_keys
-rw------- 1 root root 116 Jul 11 09:37 options.json
[core-ssh data]$

For me it seems, that I don’t have full access to the system although I was root:

[core-ssh data]$ whoami

root

[core-ssh data]$

Aside from that I am also not able to issue commands coming from this Addon. I am a little bit lost!

Addons runs as separate docker containers, which is a simply kind of a virtual machine.
You need to use docker to access the files on that specific container, instead of the docker container that HA runs in.

ok - what do you mean with

Could you explain it a little bit more please?! Thank you very much!

Ok - I fear I have not so deep knowledge in HA than you. From that point, I would like to thank you so far! I’ll delete the Addon now - maybe there is another way to integrate my Sungrow inverter to HA - I will search for that.
