Current Situation

hi , How to move homebridge storage to different mount point.

from "/var/lib/homebridge" to "/data/my-data/hb"

I want to lock the OS filesystem with FILESSYSTEM-OVERLAY option , But keep one r/w mount point on the usb/sdcard for homebridge plugin and accessories.

If homebridge storage is on OS partition , then my pairing and accessories will be cleared on reboot

I have made my master disk with "homebridge-raspbian-image" added a partition with 4gb writeable area.

after overlay files system is enable by raspi-config /data path will be will available for persistence storage ( writable ).

$ cat /etc/fstab
proc            /proc           proc    defaults          0       0
PARTUUID=1369d763-01  /boot/firmware  vfat    defaults          0       2
PARTUUID=1369d763-02  /               ext4    defaults,noatime  0       1
PARTUUID=1369d763-03  /data           ext4    defaults,noatime  0       3

My folder struct on /data will be similar
