General Pocketbase settings

note

A Pocketbase Admin Account is required for this.

Pocketbase settings application area

Application name

info

This setting is sure to be changed.

This setting is not used anywhere. Here you set the Pocketbase application name.

Application url

danger

Changing this setting can lead to you no longer having access to your instance.

Here you can set the URL of Pocketbase. The port can also be changed here if, for example, port 8090 is blocked.

Log Retention

info

This setting is sure to be changed.

Here you can set how long logs should be stored. This concerns so-called request logs. These can be retrieved under http://localhost:8090/_/#/logs or in the storage folder under /pb_data/logs.db.

Log overview in Pocketbase Log overview in Pocketbase; special log

We recommend setting a fairly high log retention of ~30 days. This allows you to better observe loads over an entire month.

In addition, logs do not take up much storage space.

Hide collection create and edit controls

danger

Changing collections can lead to data loss and general loss of functionality.

By default, all settings regarding collections are hidden. This means that no collections can be changed (change, delete, add columns) and no new collections can be created.

However, this setting can be useful. For example, if you want to expand the card index with your own apps and collections. To do this, you must give the appropriate rights.
