Configuration¶

Cronboard stores its configuration in the user's home directory under ~/.config/cronboard/.

Config Files¶

These files are created automatically the first time you run Cronboard. You do not need to edit them manually.

Theme¶

Cronboard is built on Textual, which ships with several built-in themes.

The active theme is saved automatically whenever you change it inside the application. The default theme is catppuccin-mocha.

To change the theme, open the command palette with Ctrl+P (or Ctrl+E on some setups), type theme, and choose a theme. Your choice is written to config.toml so it persists across restarts.

config.toml example¶

theme = "catppuccin-mocha"

Saved Servers¶

The servers.toml file holds the list of SSH servers you have added. Each server entry looks like this:

[username@host:crontab_user]
name = "username@hostname"
host = "hostname"
port = 22
username = "username"
encrypted_password = "<bcrypt-encrypted>"
ssh_key = false
connected = false
crontab_user = "username"

Passwords are never stored in plain text, they are encrypted with bcrypt before being written to disk.
