[SOLVED][HELP] How to configure homeassistant container to use symlink /dev device

I don’t know. What is the recommended way to enter the root file system in Hass.io? I assumed that the container the SSH addob takes you to was the only place you should venture to as a Hass.io user.

Well it depends on the base OS that’s on your pi(or other platform) but usually, there is a SSH server running on the base OS, usually defaulting to port 22.

So basically, you connect to it same way as you do when ssh’ing in Hass.io container, only this time you use port 22.

Here’s a basic tutorial on how to use SSH on Raspbian and most derivative: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ssh/

It will tell you how to enable ssh server if it’s not already up and how to connect via a client.

If they just flashed the hassio image, that base OS is HassOS

This doesn’t make sense. The SSH add-on uses port 22.

This doesn’t apply to Hassio

The answer is here:

Sorry for misleading, I never used HassOS and I don’t use the SSH addon either.

Thanks for supplying the solution!

Back to the original issue, is it possible HassOS doesn’t implement device tree categorization that gives out /dev/serial/* listing?

If so, maybe there is a way to reinstate it.
