improved customization of services


Node services in CORE have been a relatively new feature, and we're working on improving ways to customize your services. The Customize... button has now been replaced with a little edit icon next to each service. You click the edit button to customize that service.

The color of this button can indicate several things:
  • Gray (default): the service config will be auto-generated
  • Green: this service has been customized for this node
  • Yellow (future): this is a service that requires customization
We've added some new security services that you can see on the right column. For some services there isn't a great way to auto-generate a complete config. The VPN client for example, must be configured with the server it should connect with, among other things. We'll be adding a new property to services that allows a service to flag that it requires customization. Then in the service list (shown above) the edit button will be colored yellow.
