Where Does YunoHost Store Config and App Data?
YunoHost keeps settings in /etc/yunohost with app data under /var and home folders.
Last updated
YunoHost splits settings from app payloads. Core settings, domains, users, and firewall state live in /etc/yunohost. Installed apps keep data under /var/www, /home, and /opt per package with shared backups in /home/yunohost.backup.
Use the built in backup tool before upgrades since it understands hooks per app. Copying raw folders misses database dumps. Keep an off host copy of archives plus the admin password.
Where YunoHost stores this, by platform
/etc/yunohost (core settings)

/home/yunohost.backup (archives)
Built in backup archives per app and core. Copy off host on schedule. Restores run through the same tool, not raw copies.

Where is YunoHost app data?
Per app under /var/www, /home, or /opt with databases dumped by hooks. Use archives instead of raw folder copies for consistency.
