Is there any other way of accessing my configuration.yaml file in any other way other than through ssh or samba?
Maybe directly from the SD card?
My samba is no longer working, I can’t log in using ssh and the HASSio tab on my “default” page is no longer there. I need to format my disk and start again I guess but it would really help if I could get a back up of my yaml files before erasing everything.
Please help.
correction. I have access to ssh and able to get to the yaml files with the command
nano /config/configuration.yaml
That’s not a solution for everyone, what should we do if we don’t have SSH?
I only have monitor and keyboard access to the Pi3 running HA (Hassio)
The list of commands I have does not have an edit and the code “nano -w /config/configuration.yaml” does not work as hassio does not know nano command.
HassOS (the BASE OS for HassIO) is not a general linux distro, and does not have standard Linux tools.
You have a couple of choices to access from the SDCard directly.
You can boot a Live Linux distro from USB on your desktop/laptop and mount the SDCard and get the files off it
OR
You can install some software on your Windows machine to read Linux partitions and get the files off that way.
You really shouldn’t have gotten yourself into this situation to begin with, by automatically backing up your files, and keeping snapshots or backups off the SDCard.
