System Configuration
The System Configuration pill is on the ADMIN page, which you open by selecting ADMIN in the side menu. It holds the configuration options for the core Profinity instance. The settings are grouped into tabs, and each tab has its own page, listed in the Tabs at a glance table.
Saving changes restarts Profinity
Saving changes in System Configuration restarts Profinity and interrupts all active sessions. Enabling or disabling components on the Choose available components page applies immediately without a restart.
After the save, Profinity shows a "Restarting, please wait..." message and checks Profinity every two seconds. It refreshes the settings automatically once Profinity is running again, so you do not need to reload the page. If Profinity has not returned to the running state within 60 seconds, Profinity reports that the restart is taking longer than expected. The System Information page shows the current Profinity state.
If Profinity does not start because config.yaml or security.yaml is invalid, refer to When a configuration file is invalid.
