My new HASS.io setup under Docker was installed without the homeassistant: configuration, as the default_config: seems to be the way now.
Question:
Can I still implement custom settings under homeassistant: without screwing things up?
Which one takes precedence?
Yes.
Neither ‘takes precedence’, if you configure something within homeassistant (like packages for example) then that’s where you configured it.
Got it. I was going to test out white-listing external folders to access files on my Ubuntu box but didn’t want to muck anything up. Thanks.
