Default and fallback values

Features

In the configuration file, the format of a feature is: [<module>::]<feature>. A missing module specifier defaults to "core". The features currently supported are:

• core::call_in
• integration::outlook

The modules subcommand outputs all modules available in the OpenTalk controller, including the features that can be enabled or disabled.

Configuration

The section in the configuration file is called defaults.

Field	Type	Required	Default value	Description
user_language	string	no	"en-US"	Default language of a new user
screen_share_requires_permission	bool	no	false	When true, screen sharing requires explicit permission
timezone	string	no	see below	The global timezone of the controller, in IANA format (e.g. "Europe/Berlin")
disabled_features	string[]	no	[]	A list of disabled features in the controller

The timezone field sets the timezone used by the system and as the users' default. If not set here, the TZ environment variable and the operating system are consulted in this order, finally falling back to "Etc/UTC").

Examples

Set the global timezone and disable the core::call_in and integration::outlook features

[defaults]
timezone = "Europe/Berlin"
disabled_features = ["core::call_in", "integration::outlook"]

Set default user language, require explicit screen share permissions and disable the core::call_in feature

[defaults]
user_language = "de-DE"
screen_share_requires_permission = true
disabled_features = ["call_in"]
