The administration application allows you to change the configuration of a Docker container.

You have two options to open the configuration of a container:

  • Click Edit configuration in the quick actions bar in the services' list.

  • Open the details page of the service and scroll down to section Configuration.


The Configuration section also informs you if the configuration UI is not available for a service type.

Adapting the Configuration of Service Type pas-service

If you use the quick action option Edit configuration for a service of type pas-service, a JSON editor opens in a separate pop-up.

You can also find the JSON editor on the details page of a Docker container: Scroll down and open section Configuration to access the editor.

To prevent accidental changes, the editor must be unlocked before you are able to edit its content.

Do not edit content in the Configuration section without any knowledge of JSON.

The editor supports you to insert valid JSON:

  • Click Save to apply your changes.

Some pas-services require a restart after changes to the configuration file. This is indicated in the toast message at the bottom of the administration window.

The message also contains a button for a direct start.

Adapting the Configuration of Service Type pas-nestjs

For services of type pas-nestjs (= internal services of the PAS platform) developers can define a service-specific schema and documentation. If a schema is available, the display in section Configuration will change and show the defined configuration options.
