WARNING config_dir: /DIRECTORY exists, but is not writeable, owner: root

I recently migrated host machines and when restoring my data, I started to notice these Warning in the logs:

WARNING config_dir: /home exists, but is not writeable, owner: root
WARNING css: /home exists, but is not writeable, owner: root
WARNING javascript: /home exists, but is not writeable, owner: root

My config:

    log:
      logfile: STDOUT
      errorfile: STDERR
      logsize: 100000
      log_generations: 3
    appdaemon:
      threads: 10
      plugins:
        HASS:
          type: hass
          ha_url: http://192.168.10.11:8123
          token: REDACTED
    hadashboard:
      dash_url: http://192.168.10.12:8124

I’ve seem a similar tread here that suggests this can be ignored. Just want to make sure. Everything works fine otherwise.

It can be ignored. AD does a permissions check starting at the root of the file and working its way up the tree to the directories it needs. It’s just informing you that it can’t write in that location as it works its way up. Really, those WARNINGs should be removed.
