Changing the Management Server Settings via config¶
You can change certain management server settings in the SolusVM 2 interface, for example, update settings, billing integration settings, DNS settings, and so on. However, you may need to change other things related to the management server, for example:
- The management server hostname.
- Ports used by the management server.
- The SSL/TLS certificate that secures the management server.
To change them, you need to edit the corresponding settings in the SolusVM 2 config file.
To change the management server settings via config:
- Access the management server command line.
- Edit the
/usr/local/solus/config/config.yml
file by changing the desired settings. For example, to change the management server hostname, edit the following lines:app: host: <domain name>
-
Run the following command to propagate the changes:
The management server will go down and then will restart with the new settings applied. Unlike the management server, compute resources and servers will not have any downtime./usr/local/solus/bin/installer -reconfigure
-
If you changed the management server hostname, also change it in the
/etc/solus/agent.json
file, theapi_host
line. If you changed other management server settings, skip this step.
Note
If you have changed the management server hostname, SolusVM 2 will automatically issue a new SSL/TLS certificate from Let’s Encrypt to secure the management server.
