So I feel like in light of all the changes being done for this WTH
This one is actually more important. I (like many others on this discussion from reading) have come up with a way to quickly reboot after a config change which works for me. In my case I actually have an automation which runs a config change after a YAML file changes and then pushes the results to my phone as a notification (the notification has a restart option if the config check passed).
But Bdraco is quickly making all of this irrelevant since pretty soon restarts will become rare, most parts of the configuration will not require a restart. Which means you actually will want to get to the server controls screen quickly to reload the part of the configuration you changed without a restart.
Perhaps we can consider adapting this WTH post somewhat in light of these other changes? I would love to see some changes to make it easier to reload parts of the configuration (or in rare cases, restart) without so much scrolling. Like perhaps a tab in the developer tools panel (since any changes to configuration.yaml
are developer changes)? Or a more icon on the developer tools sidebar nav item that shows a menu which lets you pick what to reload?
