Runtime settings

These settings live in the database and can be changed live - no service restart needed.

Edit them from admin’s System area (/admin/runtime): server_nickname, cgroup_v2_limits_enabled, and gpu_sharing_enabled are in its Common settings section (each shown with an Effective/Not effective pill); everything else is in the searchable, individually resettable Advanced overrides section.

Contrast with Environment variables, which require a restart.

cgroup_v2_limits_enabledtrueCommon settingsWhen false, new workspace starts omit --cpus, --memory, and --cgroup-parent. Use as a quick escape hatch on a cgroup v2 host where resource enforcement causes issues
