Default Setting
Many application settings can be adjusted in the UI.
You can adjust some default settings of PILOS by adding the desired values to the .env file.
After the first start of the application, the settings are stored in the database and can be adjusted in the admin UI.
All changes to the .env variables will have no effect.
Setting in the .env file | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| APP_NAME | PILOS | Name of the application, used in page title, emails, etc. (1) |
| DEFAULT_HELP_URL | --- | Link to a user documentation, shown in the main menu |
| DEFAULT_LEGAL_NOTICE_URL | --- | Link to a legal notice, shown in the footer |
| DEFAULT_PRIVACY_POLICY_URL | --- | Link to a privacy policy, shown in the footer |
| DEFAULT_FAVICON | /images/favicon.ico | Relative or absolute path to the favicon |
| DEFAULT_FAVICON_DARK | /images/favicon-dark.ico | Relative or absolute path to the dark version favicon |
| DEFAULT_LOGO | /images/logo.svg | Relative or absolute path to the logo |
| DEFAULT_LOGO_DARK | /images/logo-dark.svg | Relative or absolute path to the dark version logo |
| DEFAULT_TIMEZONE | UTC | Default timezone for all new users |
1: The application name should also be changed in the .env file, as some parts of the framework might use the value directly
and do not read the settings from the database.
Image paths
In case you want to customize the images of the applications (logo and favicon) before the first start of the application, follow the steps below:
- Mount the
public/images/customfolder into the container by adjusting the docker-compose file.- './public/images/custom:/var/www/html/public/images/custom' - Put the custom images under the path
public/images/custom. - Adjust the
.envfile with the relative path/images/custom/, e.g.DEFAULT_LOGO=/images/custom/logo.svg
info
The logo and favicon can always be adjusted in the admin UI by uploading new images or setting a URL.
