I've been using ESPhome for a long time now and i want to upload custom fonts (.ttf) and .cpp files in order to display informations on my lcd. I can't find anything related to this so i have to ask it here. How can i interface with the folder that the jail was created in? And an easy way to upload/remove files to/from that folder. The dashboard webpage works fine, but you can't upload custom .cpp or .ttf files to it :(

If there's not a lot, you can use the TrueNAS console to copy/remove things in and out of a jail.

If it's something you want to do more regularly, maybe you can use an external dataset for the configuration directory. Then you can create a samba share to copy/remove files over the network.

It might even be possible to create a samba share to the esphome config directory directly inside the jail, without using an external dataset.
