I’ve been using HA Core for a few years now and now “want” to switch to HA OS. But I don’t want to lose my config. So, I made a backup and fed that to HA OS on initialization. Afterwards the docker container didn’t respond anymore …
I assume it’s because of my manual https config in my configuration.yaml. I ran docker exec -it <id> bash and out-commented the corresponding lines but it still doesn’t listen on port 8123. Is there a way to reset the config? I guess as it’s all docker application containers there is a way but I don’t have much experience with docker or how they are applied for HAOS.
Regarding https: I’ve used certbot in conjunction with my own fork of dns-lexicon and two scripts for manual-auth-hook and manual-cleanup-hook. AFAICT the Home Assistant Let’s Encrypt addon is mostly a bunch of shell commands strung together in a shell script. I would not mind forking it, too, to implement the necessary commands to make it work with my setup. But I don’t know if I can install custom addons in HAOS. I even cannot tell in which container this script runs as it seems to make use of certbot but I don’t see it installing certbot and it’s not installed in the homeassistant application container.
If there’s no path forward for custom addons I could still put the HAOS VM behind my nginx reverse proxy. Are there any caveats in reverse proxying HA?
But I still don’t know how to transfer my config and more importantly my power statistics from multiple years. I’d be really sad if I had to lose them.
Restoring my (partial?) backup did nothing. It only reverted the Core to the last version I bothered to update to in my old setup before migrating.
I now gave up.
I’d loved to have imported my few automations but it’s nothing I can’t recreate. Losing my power statistics is a lot worse but I wasted multiple hours now with no results.
