# Config

`opencli config` allows you to change the configuration of the user interface and set defaults for new accounts.

Settings are stored in `/usr/local/panel/conf/panel.config` file. However, it is recommended not to modify this file directly. Instead, it's best to utilize the `config` script. This way, any changes made are immediately applied, and the  panel service is automatically restarted only when necessary.


Example:
```bash
############################## NOTICE #########################################
#                                                                             #
# Manually modifying this file is not recommended!                            #
#                                                                             #
# You should use the interface in Admin Panel > Server Configuration          #
# for applying changes to these settings.                                     #
#                                                                             #

```bash

```

### default_php_version

`default_php_version` sets the PHP version used for new accounts. Default value is 8.3

```bash
default_php_version=8.3
```


### domains_per_page

Set number of domains to show per page for the user, default value is 100.

### resource_usage_charts_mode

![resource_columns](/img/admin/resource_columns.gif)

- _one_ - displays a single chart for both CPU and RAM usage.
- _two_ (Default) - displays two charts: one for CPU and another for RAM. 
- _none_ - displays no charts.

```bash
resource_usage_charts_mode=two
```

![Sidebar colors](/img/admin/sidebar_colors.gif)

Available options are:

- dark
- prime
- light

```bash
sidebar_color=prime
```

### password_reset

`password_reset` allows you to enable or disable the password reset functionality for the login page. By default password reset is disabled.

```bash
password_reset=yes
```

### avatar_type

`avatar_type` allows you to set the type of images used for users profile pictures in the users panel.

![avatar type](/img/admin/profile_picture.gif)

Available options:

- _gravatar_ - displays the gravatar picture associated with the email address of the user.
- _letter_ - displays a CSS generated icon using the users first letter of the username.
- _icon_ - displays a placeholder bootstrap icon representing the user.

```bash

```

### logout_url

`logout_url` allows administrators to define the destination to which users should be redirected after they log out. The default setting directs them to the `/login` page.

```bash
logout_url=https://google.com
```

### activity_items_per_page

`activity_items_per_page` allows administrators to define the default number of displayed items on the `/activity` page, the value defaults to 25.

```bash
activity_items_per_page=50
```

### force_domain

`force_domain` enables you to specify a mandatory domain name for accessing the user panel. If a user attempts to visit the panel using any other domain, such as "their-domain.com:2083", they will be automatically redirected to "your-domain.com:2083." This feature utilizes the `port` option to ensure the enforcement of the specified port value as well.


```bash
force_domain=openpanel.co
```

### port

The `port` setting enables you to define a custom port for the panel's operation. By default, the panel uses port **2083**, but you have the flexibility to set it to any desired port.
It's crucial to ensure that the chosen port is open in your firewall configuration. 

```bash
port=2083
```

:::info
After adjusting the port, it's necessary to restart the panel service to apply the new port configuration.
:::


### ssl

The `ssl` setting when enabled will force both the OpenPanel and AdminPanel to use SSL for the hostname and redirect traffic to https. This setting is by default disabled but will be automatically enabled if [opencli ssl-hostname](/docs/admin/scripts/ssl#hostname) succeeded in generating an SSL for the hostname during OpenPanel installation.

```bash
ssl=no
```

### openpanel_proxy

The `openpanel_proxy` setting allows you to set a custom /something that will allow users to access their openpanel interface using their domain names. For example: 'panel' will make any domain, example: 'example.com/panel' redirect to the OpenPanel.

```bash
openpanel_proxy=open_sesame
```

### nameservers

The `ns1` `ns2` `ns3` `ns4` options allow you to set nameservers that will be used in dns zone files for newly added domains, and displayed to users on their panel dashboard.
Nameservers should be added in pairs, ns1 and ns2, ns3 and ns4.

![ns](/img/admin/ns.png)

```bash
ns1=ns1.openpanel.co
ns2=ns2.openpanel.co
ns3=ns3.openpanel.co
ns4=ns4.openpanel.co
```

### enabled_modules

In OpenPanel version 0.1.5, we implemented the Modules feature, which, by default, loads only the essential modules. Administrators also have the option to selectively disable modules they do not require.

Currently, the following modules are optional and can be disabled by the Administrator:
```bash
enabled_modules=phpmyadmin,ssh,crons,backups,wordpress,pm2,disk_usage,inodes,usage,terminal,services,webserver,fix_permissions,malware_scan,process_manager,ip_blocker,redis,memcached,elasticsearch,login_history,activity
```

### autopatch

The `autopatch` option allows Administrator to automatically update OpenPanel to minor versions.

| Autopatch    | Update to minor version  | Update to major version  |
| -------- | ------- | ------- |
| yes | 1.0.2 will be updated to 1.0.3 | 1.0.2 will **NOT** be updated to 2.0.0 |
| no | 1.0.2 will **NOT** be updated to 1.0.3 | 1.0.2 will **NOT** be updated to 2.0.0 |

```bash
autopatch=yes
```

### autoupdate

The `autoupdate` option allows Aministrator to enable or disable automatic updates.

| Autoupdate    | Update to minor version  | Update to major version  |
| -------- | ------- | ------- |
| yes | 1.0.2 will **NOT** be updated to 1.0.3 | 1.0.2 will be updated to 2.0.0 |
| no | 1.0.2 will **NOT** be updated to 1.0.3 | 1.0.2 will **NOT** be updated to 2.0.0 |

```bash
autoupdate=yes
```


### twofa_nag

The `twofa_nag` option allows Administrator to set if 2FA nag should be displayed to users on their dashboard page.

![2fa nag](/img/admin/2fa_nag.png)


```bash
twofa_nag=yes
```

### how_to_guides

The `how_to_guides` option allows Aministrator to enable or disable the How-to guides section from users dashboards.

![how_to guides](/img/admin/how_to.png)

```bash
how_to_guides=yes
```
If configured as "yes", the system will initially attempt to access a JSON file containing your custom how-to guides. In the event that the file is not available, articles from https://openpanel.co/docs/panel/dashboard/#how-to-guides will be shown instead.
