Webtop LSIO : Why?

[UlrichThiess]

The Linux provided with the KDE interface invites you to install software and try things out. Admittedly, as a container on a home assistant system it only makes limited sense, but if everything is reset after every restart, the purpose is not clear to me at all.

Can this container be set to read/write? To get an unmanipulated container, you can simply reinstall the add-on. What would be the best way to proceed?

Hi, it's not a possibility of homeassistant. However, you can use the option in the add-on options page to install additional apps at startup

Another option is to use my injection script to install apps at boot https://github.com/alexbelgium/hassio-addons/wiki/Add%E2%80%90ons-feature-:-customisation

Good luck!

That's what I was afraid of. Thank you for your answer.

I followed your recommendation

the scrip does not run?
should dns setting start first?

[alexbelgium]

I see - this is because this addon is still with the "old" way to manage /config folder (= prior to HomeAssistant implementing a feature similar to mine).

The file to access is /homeassistant/addons_autoscripts/webtop-kde.sh - I see that my code has a typo and does not show the correct path in the log

Thanks again. Now I can move on...
