Configuration

Expose duplicati to homeassistant via nodered/mqtt. You need to have a working mqtt broker, homeassistant configured correctly to work with this broker and accept discovery of new devices.

Configuration should be done by a yaml file. In the current flow, this file is to be stored on /data/duplicati/duplicati_config.yaml

/data/duplicati

nodered:$ cat duplicati_config.yaml
