Migrate/Recover Home assistance config

Installation
1

I have been using home assistant on a rock64 armbian for a year.
for some data corruption, the memory card won’t boot anymore.

I’ve reinstalled the OS on a new card.

Is it possible to get the config/settings everything from the old memory card?
I can browse and see all files in there.

please Let me know how I can do this, if it is possible.

Thanks.

If you can use that card on a linux machine, mount the 8-ish partition of the memory card (‘/dev/mmcblk0p8’, label ‘hassos-data’).

Assuming you mounted it as /mnt/data, your config is in /mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant

sorry, I haven’t installed hassos.
it’s supervised install.
There’s just one partition.

there’s /home/homeassistant/ and /srv/homeassistant/

Should I just copy the /home/homeassistant/ to the new memory card?

What’s in “/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant”?
Anyway, the folder containing configuration.yaml is the one you want to copy over to the new install (and be sure to copy hidden folders, e.g., .storage as well)

sorry for asking again, should I just copy configuration.yaml and .storage
or the whole .homeassistant folder?
or the whole /home/homeassistant folder?
