No config files written in /etc/openhab

  • Platform information:
    • Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1
    • OS: Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)_
    • Java Runtime Environment: openjdk version “11.0.16” 2022-07-19
    • openHAB version: 3.3.0
  • Issue of the topic: After creating things, models and items in the WebUI, there are no files written to the filesystem?

I have checked /etc/openhab/ but there are no config files in these folders, only the readme.txt files.

But after restarting the machine the changes a made a persistent. So where are the configuration files?
