General

Config Editor

Edit Proxus configuration from the UI safely, understand apply/restart behavior, and roll back quickly.

Config Editor

Where to find it

  • UI Path: Administration → Config Editor

What it does

Config Editor lets you modify the server configuration from the Management Console.

How it relates to the config file

  • The authoritative configuration is the same one described in Configuration File Reference.
  • In Docker, prefer environment variables for overrides.
  • Use Config Editor when you need controlled changes through the UI.

Common workflow

Open the editor

Go to Administration → Config Editor.

Make a small change

Change one setting at a time so it’s easy to validate and roll back.

Save

Save the configuration and confirm the UI shows the expected behavior.

Apply vs restart behavior

  • Requires restart: Changes take effect only after a reboot. If the service is not restarted, settings will not be applied.

How to verify

Check the related UI screen and the server logs after saving.

Permissions

  • Access is restricted to admins and users explicitly granted permission via RBAC.
  • Keep a known-good configuration snapshot.
  • If something breaks, revert to the last working config quickly.
