## Common questions

### What file should I back up for a containerized Home Assistant install?

Back up the configuration folder indicated by the config_dir value. It stores your integrations, automations, and other settings, so losing it can mean losing your setup.

### Which port should be used to reach the Home Assistant dashboard and API?

Home Assistant is reached on port 8123. If that port is unreachable, you cannot open the dashboard or control things from apps.
