Set server parameters¶

You can make certain configuration settings for the Server parameters module. These are saved in the config.yml file.

You can access the Server parameters parameters module using the Configuration button in the octoplant hub user interface.

You can make the following settings in the Server parameters module:

• SMTP host
• SMTP port*
• SMTP user
• SMTP password: Use X to clear existing password before re-entering.
• SMTP email: the from address
• Port: Here you can replace the port specified during installation with any other free port. By default, port 443 is used first. If it is already occupied, port 64040. If both ports are no longer available, the operating system requests a free port, usually from the dynamic port range.
• Path to certificate file and Path to key file: For an encrypted connection, a certificate file and a corresponding file with the key are required. If no certificate file is specified, it is generated automatically by the system. In this case, the user is asked to confirm the trustworthiness of the website when logging in.
• Expiration of token (in minutes): Duration in minutes for which the access token is valid after login to the system.
• Default domain: Domain that is preset in the login dialog to the octoplant hub. The domain is displayed to every user as the default setting, but can be overwritten when logging in.
• Cron scheduler: Schedule according to which data is automatically exported from the octoplant server. The default value entered at is 0 5*** and means that the export is carried out at 05:00 at night (see also https://crontab.guru/#0_5_*_*__).
• Timescale for filtering entries in days: Number of days for which data is exported from the octoplant server. By default, data from the last year, i.e. 365 days, is exported. This value can be adjusted as required If the amount of data is too large, the system may become slow and it may take a long time to import the data.

If you select the Import octoplant server data upon system start checkbox, the import of the data will start directly when you start the octoplant hub. If you want to perform the import at a different time, for example at night or in the evening, uncheck the option.
