RESEED_ON_RELOAD

Enable this flag to reseed Morio when reloading.

This flag comes into play when you have have preseed.git settings that make Morio clone a git repository locally. This gives you various ways to keep your configuration under version control, as outlined in the Preseeding Guide.

By default, Morio will not re-clone the repository when you make a configuration change, or when you restart Morio. Instead, it will only update the git repository from the remote when you explicitly reseed Morio through the reseed API endpoint, (or via the UI which uses this endpoint under the hood).

When you enable this flag, Morio will reseed (thus update the local git content from the remote) whenever you restart it, or update it’s configuration.

WARNING

Even with this flag enabled, Morio will not reseed the data when it restarts in an unforeseen way, such as a server reboot.

NOTE

Understanding then this flag takes effect​

When updating the Morio settings, there are three steps:

  • Core receives the configuration update request
  • Core will reseed if the RESEED_ON_RELOAD flag is set
  • Core will apply the new configuration

This means that if you change this flag in an update to the settings, it will not take effect until the next update.

In other words, the flag value of the running configuration is used, not of the new settings.
