Mattermost config cannot be updated

[csilvav]

Hi team,
I don't know if you keep in mind that some apps need to update config files to allow some hidden/restricted features for more experienced people, and nowadays I could see that it is not possible.
I was trying to update config.json to allow upload plugins and the files are read-only. How we can change it ?

Hi @csilvav ,

the config.json of Mattermost is stored in /app/data and should therefore be writable to the admin (the file is created in https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/mattermost-app/blob/master/start.sh#L7)

@csilvav yes, as @fbartels said, you should be able to edit /app/data/config.json using the web terminal. Let us know if that doesn't work. You have to restart the app as well for the changes to take effect.
