I locked myself out

sorry
I made a change to the http: section in my configuration.yaml and probably did something wrong… because now I can no longer log in locally

Does anyone know how to change the configuration.yaml file on the HAOS command line "HA > "? I have to adjust my http: auth there… I think I then have to call up the “VI” editor… but with LS -la I get an error message that it doesn’t know the command (I just connected the Raspberry directly to Monitor and Keyboard connected and see the command line with the prompt HA >

It should be ls -la (case matters in Linux). You can also just use vi configuration.yaml (I’m not certain, but I think you can also use nano, which is a much easier editor in Linux if you don’t want to deal with vi).

Hello

I don’t know if I installed nano… I wanted to… but I’m not sure.

unfortunately it works
LS -la not

I only see

HA>

if I
HA > Entering Ls -la brings something from the CLI and ls–help, but both lead to nothing…
Do I have to register first?
How ?
o I only see the prompt but it doesn’t understand LS -la or cd config/

I tried it again
He apparently only knows something about
HA > ha update
or
ha restart

but he brings that in
ls -la then he says unknown command

First enter

login

Then you can use vi
