Open WebUI config resets on restart

[dkodr]

From the wiki:

You can configure Open WebUI in three ways:

• Via WebUI itself: changes are saved in the webui/config.json file, Harbor may override them on restart
  • Copy config changes to the webui/configs/config.override.json in order to persist them over Harbor's default config

Is this really how it should be or maybe there's something I don't understand (wchich absolutely may be the case 😉). If I want to make the changes made via UI persist after restart, I should make a copy of my settings first? If so, that's really inconvenient as I'd like to be able to regularly change some settings in the UI and I can't be trusted with remembering to merge the files 😉 Is there a reason it's designed this way in Harbor?

Besides, I thing the path changed as there isn't a webui/config.json file.

Hey 👋

Thanks for trying out Harbor. The overwrite is applicable only to portions that are pre-configured by Harbor (Web RAG, TTS, Image Generation, embeddings), in such cases using an override config is a current workaround. For API connections - see openai in the config.

You can find the final config created by Harbor in the webui workspace for reference (webui started renaming it to config.old.json a few months ago, I'll refresh the docs soo), to see if it contains anything that you also want to adjust manually.

Ideally, we want to have a bidirectional config bindings, but that'd require a pretty deep involvement with WebUI internals, which is hard to justify at this stage.

What format should be used for the override.env file to persist ComfyUI running on a remote host?

I tried this, but it doesn't seem to show up in webui:

# This file can be used for additional environment variables
# specifically for the "webui" service.
# You can also use the "harbor env" command to set these variables.
