Therefore, I want to edit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf of host OS, but I can not do it because it is a read-only file system. And I want to do the editing from inside the container.

I take a look around the forum but can’t find an idea (I don’t know the Bluetooth protocol very well). From my understanding : bluetoothd communicate with the Bluetooth device and run on the BalenaOS host and them the container communicate with the daemon through dbus with an agent (bluetoothctl for example). I can pair my device but can’t connect it.
