Manager_config.json cannot be saved via Manage UI

RRR · March 7, 2025, 8:14am

Dears, please advise -
i try to change manager_config.json through Managet UI/appearance

i add an example from doc:

after i click update and save, realm appearance changes, and if i open manager_config.json again, it shows only lines related to realms, all related to “assets” disappeared:

please advise how to change the manager_config.json to do some adjustments on styling of assets - tree, map etc.

Hi!

First of all, have you tried reloading the page? (to make sure it’s not a local cache issue)

Are you running the latest version of OpenRemote?
We recently patched some fixes on this, so maybe that will already resolve your issues.
See here;

Let me know if it helps!

Thanks a lot for guidance.
i managed to make it working.
i have copied all lines from demo.openremote.app to my manager_config.json in Manager UI/appearance from this post:

github.com/openremote/openremote

Bug

**Describe the bug** Whenever you create a new OpenRemote instance the default (…generated) `manager_config.json` value is invalid causing an error whenever saving the "Appearance" settings. **To Reproduce** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Create a new OpenRemote instance 2. Go to 'Appearance' 3. Change the Primary realm color to blue 4. Click on 'Save' **Expected behavior** The primary realm color changes after clicking the Save button. **Screenshots** ![Image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/447fd555-a92a-4b76-9bf7-d447f3c9b191) **Additional context** The following logging shows in the backend: ``` 2025-02-17 14:31:27.908 FINE

key from the JSON. See also: https://forum.openremote.io/t/appearance-tab-changes-not-saving-page-reloads-json-deserialization-error/3662?u=wborn

so seems my initial manager_config.json had some mistakes.
will continue to play with Manager UI styling, next will try to create Custom asset with custom icon.

your prompt support really appreciated!

Dears, few more questions related to manager_config.json

is there any way to play with height and width of panels in manager_config.json
{}“pages”>{}“assets”>{}“viewer”>{}“assetTypes”:>{}“WeatherAsset”>{}“viewerStyles”>{}“panels”
(and especially height, to make all panels look in a line)

any detailed Readme/Instructions available for manager_config.json?
where and how to keep configured based on a project needs manager_config.json to make all needed changes prior running containers in docker?
