I’ve been diving into the world of Hassio and Docker lately, and it’s been quite an enlightening journey. As someone who’s relatively new to the Docker ecosystem, I’ve been trying to figure out how to extend the functionality of my Hassio setup by accessing additional folders on my Ubuntu system. This is crucial for my monitoring setup, where I need to track disk usage on various partitions like /media/hdd and /media/plex alongside the standard / directory. From what I’ve gathered, bind mounts seem to be the way to go. But here’s where it gets a bit tricky. I’ve tried using Portainer to handle the bind mounts, but it doesn’t seem to allow modifications on an already running container. This has left me wondering if I need to create a new container with the desired mounts and then migrate my existing setup to it. It’s a bit intimidating, but I’m up for the challenge! I’ve come across suggestions about modifying the hassio-supervisor.service file to include the necessary volume mounts. For instance, adding -v /media/hdd:/external could grant Hassio access to that specific directory. I’m curious if anyone has successfully implemented this method and if there are any potential pitfalls I should be aware of. Another angle I’m exploring is whether there’s a more streamlined approach within Hassio itself to handle these mounts without delving too deep into Docker configurations. It would be fantastic to find a user-friendly solution that doesn’t require extensive manual tweaking. Overall, I’m excited about the possibilities this setup could unlock for my home automation projects. The ability to monitor additional directories would greatly enhance my system’s functionality. If anyone has experience with similar setups or tips on how to proceed, I’d love to hear from you! Happy automating!
