Adding a single data point - I cannot reproduce.

Using HAOS 2024.7.3 and File Editor 5.8.0, I am not seeing the behavior you describe.

The horizontal bar you describe is normal - that is where File Editor tells you what file you are viewing/editing - but I cannot reproduce the issue you are seeing from my side where the file does not load, and it does not tell you the file name on that bar - Selection dialog appears to be working the same as any other time, and no issues loading files

i found the reason to be that i block cloudflare.com

as soon as i set it as trusted. it loads.
why would i need to have outside access to cloudflare to be able load locally ?

[magiva]

This needs to be a disconnected system, how can it be fixed so it runs fully locally, i always thought that was the point of home assistant.

Hi, I didn't find the source code for the file-editor add-on here on GitHub. But if it indeed is OSS, you could potentially remove the dependencies by serving the Cloudflare JS locally. As you stated, The functionality shouldn't require an active connection to 3rd parties.

It's also possible that the cdn portions are from https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace, which is used to power the File-editor.

Good Luck.

Who maintains this add-on? They're the ones that could look into fixing this privacy (and functionality) issue...

Edit: Add-on info shows https://github.com/home-assistant/addons/tree/master/configurator as source.
Edit: I'd recommend setting up SSH and using FileZilla for now...

Yes, but do you actually see any source in there?
I did some more digging and it seems like this is the UI portion of the source.

The README.md states:

IMPORTANT: The configurator fetches JavaScript libraries, CSS and fonts from CDNs. Hence it does NOT work when your client device is offline. And it is only available for Python 3.

But i think we could circumvent that and help create a PR there that fixes the issue.

The link I linked to was "official" and has commits from 7m and 10m ago versus 2 years for the link you sent. Going by official link and age.

[Likqez]

Yes @OdinVex, but taking a look at the offical repositories Dockerfile you see that they uses pip3 install hass-configurator which is the repo I mentioned. Our problem is from the UI, the official repository however doesn't have any source code representing the UI.

TBH. it's just a shitty documented repository, where you actually have to dig to find out what dependencies they are using.

I see now, similar in concept to Arch's AUR's PKGBUILD files.

For all,

TLDR:

This is a duplicate of: danielperna84/hass-configurator#177 which describes the situation! Check that out.

The Source code responsible for the UI and the external CDN requests: danielperna84/hass-configurator

WIP build(but stale) trying to get rid of CDN dependencies on the offline Branch.

If we implement this offline functionality, we will get it into home assistant!
See #1820 (comment)

[starsoccer]

+1 would be great to get this working totally offline

As per above, this is an issue with/feature request for the upstream hass-configurator. Please track the issue on their end instead.

Thanks! 👍
