We have revamped the configuration system. If PiKVM customization concerns you, read on.
<!-- more -->
Here are the main changes:
- We have moved `/etc/kvmd/main.yaml` to `/usr/lib/kvmd/`, because it's a platform config that should never be changed.
- We have deprecated and removed `/etc/kvmd/logging.yaml`. It contained some Python-specific logging settings that no one had ever changed. Getting rid of this artifact will simplify the configuration structure for some future improvements.
- We have removed `/etc/kvmd/auth.yaml`. This is a legacy auth configuration that existed before `/etc/kvmd/override.yaml` was introduced, and has never been suggested for use even in the documentation. If you have ever customized your PiKVM with `auth.yaml` (likely not), your changes will be carefully moved to `/etc/kvmd/override.d/...`, and the source file is `auth.yaml` will be deleted. Please [see here](https://discord.com/channels/580094191938437144/712960053174599712/1430925722813333504) for details.
- The `!include` directive in `/etc/kvmd/override*` and `/etc/kvmd/meta.yaml` configs is now deprecated and removed. Instead, you can place your partial config files into the `/etc/kvmd/override.d` directory, which is described in the documentation. Automatic migration is not possible here, and if you used `!include` for some reason, `pikvm-update` will tell you to remove this from the configuration before updating.
Please note that if you stored all the configs only in `override.d` and `override.yaml` and did not use `!include`, the migration will be transparent for you.
