Running in docker on another machine, what's a good default server config?

[sanderant]

I'm hoping to run hister in docker on my NAS so I can connect from multiple machiens, but the defaults didn't provide me a very good experience. I was able to connect to it, but nothing seemed to work right. I see that there's a create-config option which worked better when I put it on my workstation.

Is it as simple as just changing the app/directory: and server/address: fields or is there some other optimization I should do.

I would add it idles pretty high for something I'd like to leave running 24/7. Is there a way I can make it not use as much CPU when idle or will that improve as it runs?

TIA

It's important to set the correct base_url as well. I recommend turning off language detection if you are optimizing for low RAM usage.

Check out the configuration docs and feel free to experiment with other settings as well.

There should be 0 CPU usage when idling.
