## Program Settings

Launch with Windows
Enable Open Server Panel autostart when the operating system boots.
Check for Updates
Enable checking for Open Server Panel updates (internet connection required).
Enable Task Scheduler
Activate the built-in task scheduler. If this parameter is disabled, no scheduled tasks will be executed regardless of their status.
Use HOSTS File
Enable domain name recording in the HOSTS file. Recommendations for limited access to HOSTS file in organizations: 1. Configure all necessary modules and projects. 2. Contact the system administrator to unlock HOSTS and fix its state. 3. After the administrator has fixed the changes, you can disable this option. Important: Do not disable this parameter if you are unsure of the consequences!
Interface Language
Open Server Panel user interface language. If the localization file is missing or contains errors, English will be used.
API Domain
Local domain for API and web interface (in development) Recommendation: If using VPN or proxy, add this domain to the exceptions.
API IP Address
IPv4 address for API and web interface (in development). Recommendation: If using VPN or proxy, add this IP address to the exceptions.
API Port
Port used for API and web interface (in development). Open Server Panel will not start if the specified port is already in use.
Use Windows Terminal
Enable the use of Windows Terminal instead of the standard command interface. Requirements: Windows Terminal must be installed on the system and added to the PATH environment variable. Windows Terminal as cmd.exe: In newer Windows versions, Windows Terminal can replace cmd.exe and be specified in the %COMSPEC% environment variable. If this is the case, keep this option enabled. New Windows Terminal instances: If Windows Terminal opens new windows instead of tabs, configure it as follows: Settings→Startup→New instance behavior→Attach to the most recently used window.
Short Project Title
When this option is enabled, only the project name will be displayed in the terminal window title instead of a detailed description.
Use System Environment with Project Environment
Use the system environment (System) in the terminal, even if it is not specified in the project settings. The system environment allows using programs installed in the system (e.g., git.exe or ssh.exe). Disable this option only when conflicts with system software occur.
ANSI Support
Enable support for ANSI codes to control colors in the terminal. "Automatic" mode (default): - The fix is applied only to Windows 7, 8, and Windows 10 (up to version 1903 inclusive). In newer Windows versions, ANSI code support is already built-in. - The fix is not applied to terminals that support ANSI by default (e.g., Windows Terminal).
Project Search Directories
List of directories where Open Server Panel will search for projects. Separate paths with a semicolon (;). Exclusions: The node_modules and vendor subdirectories are ignored.
Depth
Maximum directory nesting depth when searching for projects. Increasing this value can slow down Open Server Panel startup if the specified directories contain a large number of subdirectories.
Maximum Log File Size
Maximum log file size in megabytes. When this value is exceeded, the log file will be recreated the next time the program starts. Set the value to 0 to clear log files each time the program starts. Set the value to 100 MB to completely disable log file cleanup.
