Help with settings

[OG_Lauda]

Hello, I'm having trouble changing settings and navigating your system. I've learned that all configurations are performed via an HTTP server, and I've already downloaded and enabled one. Now, when I want to, for example, change the Android Auto resolution from the default to FHD, I don't know how to edit the files I'm previewing. A video showing an example of navigating through the settings would be helpful, as would adding apps like YouTube Music or Google Maps as an HTTP link. Best regards, and please explain.

Hello,
All Hudiy configuration files are stored in your home directory under .hudiy/share/config. Note that the .hudiy folder has a dot in its name, which means it's hidden. You can enable showing hidden files in the file manager using CTRL + H, or you can edit the files from the terminal using a tool like nano, for example: nano $HOME/.hudiy/share/config/main_configuration.json

Documentation for the configuration files can be found on our GitHub:

You can also check this topic on our forum viewtopic.php?p=212#p212, where you’ll find sample configurations for the examples from our GitHub https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy/tree/main/examples.

Thanks a lot, I'm not yet proficient with Linux, but following your tips it was possible to edit files from within the file manager. Could I still ask you for a hint on how to go to ulpit when Hudiy is on? Your system boots up immediately after starting Rpi and I would like to see if the options I configured work properly and then have access to these settings again, but I don't know how to close the hudiy application.

You are welcome. The easiest way is to use ALT + F4 keyboard shortcut (close window). As of version 1.2 you can also create an item in menu or shortcut and assign quit_hudiy action to it:

Option alt+F4 is not working, so may be there any other solution to force close hudiy app?

Does your keyboard have an Fn key? You might need to use Fn + Alt + F4 then. Alt + F4 is the standard keyboard shortcut in Raspberry Pi OS.

Another option is to connect via SSH and run the following command: pkill hudiy

Ok, i will do it tomorrow and let you know if it work it.

Hello again, Alt+F4 worked on a different keyboard. It returns to the HTTP server for a moment. I'm following the instructions and would like it to start automatically. However, when I navigate to the file using the "nano..." command and go to the file, I don't know what to do next. Could you guide me?

Nano is a console-based text editor.

To start your HTTP server automatically when the system boots, the easiest way is to add it to /etc/xdg/labwc/autostart file (e. g. before command that launches Hudiy). Using nano, you can edit that file and add your command to launch the HTTP server there.

To edit system files, you need to use sudo (e.g., sudo nano /etc/xdg/labwc/autostart). sudo allows you to run commands as the administrator (root).
