App Settings

Bodhi App provides a built-in configuration management interface that allows administrators to view and update application settings dynamically. Changes take effect immediately without requiring an application restart.

Overview

The App Settings feature lets you modify various configuration options that determine the behavior and performance of Bodhi App. Currently, you can update the following settings:

  • Execution Variant (BODHI_EXEC_VARIANT): Select the optimized variant of the Llama.cpp executable that best suits your hardware.
  • Idle Timeout (BODHI_KEEP_ALIVE_SECS): Set the duration (in seconds) for the application's keep-alive mechanism.

Additional configuration options will be supported in future updates.

How It Works

  1. Listing Settings:
    The Settings page displays a list of application configurations, each with details such as:

    • Current Value: The active setting in use.
    • Default Value: The value that would be applied if not overridden.
    • Source: The origin of the setting (e.g., environment, settings file).

  2. Editing Settings:
    For settings that are editable (currently, execution variant and idle timeout), you can click the Edit button to open a dialog where you can modify the value. When you save your changes, the new configuration is sent to the backend, validated, and applied immediately.

  3. Immediate Application:
    All changes take effect instantly, eliminating the need for any application restart or downtime.

Using the Settings UI

To update a configuration:

  • Navigate to the Settings page in Bodhi App.
  • Locate the setting you want to change. Editable settings have an Edit button.
  • Click Edit to open the change dialog.
  • Modify the value as needed and click Save.
  • The updated setting is applied immediately, and the new value is reflected on the page.

Supported Settings

Currently, the following settings can be managed via the UI:

  • BODHI_EXEC_VARIANT: Define the hardware-specific variant for Llama.cpp execution.
  • BODHI_KEEP_ALIVE_SECS: Adjust the idle timeout duration for the application.

Other configuration options are under development and will be made available in future releases.
