Healthchecks are pre-configured to monitor the uptime and response times of Dashy, and the status of which can be seen in the container logs, e.g. `docker inspect --format "{{json .State.Health }}" [container-id]`.
You can also build the Docker container from source, by cloning the repo, cd'ing into it and running `docker build .` and `docker compose up`.

You can check that your config matches Dashy's [schema](https://github.com/Lissy93/dashy/blob/master/src/utils/ConfigSchema.json) before deploying, by running `yarn validate-config.`
It is now possible to update Dashy's config directly through the UI, and have changes written to disk. You can disable this feature by setting: `appConfig.allowConfigEdit: false`. If you are using users within Dashy, then you need to be logged in to a user of `type: admin` in order to modify the configuration globally. You can also trigger a rebuild of the app through the UI (Settings --> Rebuild). The current theme, and other visual preferences are only stored locally, unless otherwise specified in the config file. The option to only apply config changes locally is still available, and can be used in conjunction with the cloud backup feature to sync data between instances.

## Config Editor ⚙️
From the Settings Menu in Dashy, you can download, backup, edit and rest your config. An interactive editor makes editing the config file easy, it will tell you if you've got any errors. After making your changes, you can either apply them locally, or export into your main config file. After saving to the config file to the disk, the app will need to be rebuilt. This will happen automatically, but may take a few minutes. You can also manually trigger a rebuild from the Settings Menu. A full list of available config options can be found [here](./docs/configuring.md). It's recommend to make a backup of your configuration, as you can then restore it into a new instance of Dashy, without having to set it up again.
