Persist user home directory?

[baodrate]

Can the user home directory be set to the new public addon config directory? This would let the user persist their home directory (.zshrc/bindings/etc.)

Meaning this line should be removed/moved behind a [ ! -f "/home/${username}/.profile" ] check as to not override the user's .profile:

addon-ssh/ssh/rootfs/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-ssh/run

Lines 109 to 111 in 091777c

	# Ensure new user switches to root after login
	echo 'exec sudo -i' > "/home/${username}/.profile" \
	|| bashio::exit.nok 'Failed configuring user profile'

This add-on cannot, as it uses the old binding as well.

As a matter of fact, there is no need to either, as it can be access through the add-on itself already :)

Can you elaborate? I see these lines:

https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-ssh/blob/091777cc91ef7f41e555af15c5f078283a9f656b/ssh/rootfs/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-user/run#L22C1-L26

Is the /config required by the addon itself or is it purely convenience for the user

What do you mean by this? The user's home directory (/home/hassio by default) is not persisted. Neither is /root. Any changes to those directories (e.g. .zshrc/.zsh_history/.config/etc.) are wiped when the addon restarts
