How to edit pyos core service configuration file

The pyos core service configuration file name is od.config

Edit your configuration file

If the od.config file does not exist, download the default od.config file and save it as od.config to your abcdesktop local directory.

To make change, edit your own od.config file

vim od.config

Make changes

Change the defaultbackgroundcolors option in the desktop options.

Locate the line desktop.defaultbackgroundcolors and update the first entries with the values '#FF0000', '#FFFFFF', '#0000FF'

desktop.defaultbackgroundcolors : [ '#FF0000', '#FFFFFF',  '#0000FF', '#CD3C14', '#4BB4E6', '#50BE87', '#A885D8', '#FFB4E6' ]

Save your local file od.config.

Apply changes

To apply changes, you can replace the abcdesktop-config

kubectl delete configmap abcdesktop-config -n abcdesktop
kubectl create configmap abcdesktop-config --from-file=od.config -n abcdesktop

Or you can also use the replace command kubectl create -n abcdesktop configmap abcdesktop-config --from-file=od.config -o yaml --dry-run | kubectl replace -n abcdesktop -f -

Restart pyos pods

kubectl delete pods -l run=pyos-od -n abcdesktop
pod "pyos-od-6fc597d444-qgzhc" deleted
