[feature request] Some more features in admin panel #529

Open Cornmeister opened 2 years ago

Cornmeister commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to change some settings from within the admin panel of the RN2 webpage ? (like overlay settings, gain, timezone, instead of changing the settings.yml)

and how about viewing the output.log from the admin panel ?

we did have a settings.yml editor in the webpage for a while - it was a hammer to crack a nut the way we were doing it, and opened up a number of security issues. It's easy to do badly. but surprisingly non-trivial to do well. Little details like monitoring the system as you rerun the install_..upgrade process on ever submit needs a fair amount of UI feedback and so on - I guess it needs time and focus no one has found yet, and the existing system, while a bit clunky, is pretty consistent for folks.

But i agree it would be a nice to have if anyone ever gets the time!
