You can use this add-on to add a browser-based file editor to your Hass.io installation. By default it will be available over Ingress only.

More information and a standalone version for regular Home Assistant installations can be found in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/danielperna84/hass-configurator).

### Add-on Configuration

```json
{
  "dirsfirst": false,
  "enforce_basepath": false
}
```

{% configuration %}
dirsfirst:
  description: List directories before files in the file browser.
  required: true
  type: boolean
  default: false
enforce_basepath:
  description: If set to `true`, access is limited to files within the `/config` directory.
  required: true
  type: boolean
  default: false
{% endconfiguration %}

### Old port based Access

You can set a network Port and the Add-on listens on that Port with Home Assistant user credential. That is as a backup if you are not able to connect to Home Assistant anymore. Today, you can restart Home Assistant with broken config, but maybe some times usefully.
