2.14. Settings¶

The Settings page is your central hub for configuring all aspects of Backend.AI GO. Access it by clicking the Settings (gear) icon in the sidebar.

Overview¶

Settings are organized in a left sidebar with three groups:

App

Agent

System

Use the Search settings bar at the top to quickly find any setting by keyword.

Appearance¶

Theme¶

Backend.AI GO offers multiple visual themes to suit your preference:

• Glass: A modern, translucent design with frosted glass effects.

• Stained: A vibrant, colorful theme with gradient accents.

Color Scheme¶

Choose between:

• Light: Bright background with dark text.
• Dark: Dark background with light text, easier on the eyes in low-light environments.
• System: Automatically follows your operating system's appearance setting.

Sidebar¶

• Collapse sidebar by default: When enabled, the sidebar starts collapsed to maximize content area. Hover or click the expand button to reveal it.

System Tray¶

• Show system tray icon: Display an icon in the system tray (menu bar on macOS) for quick access to Backend.AI GO without keeping the main window open.

Accessibility¶

• Reduce motion: Disables theme transitions and animations. This overrides the system preference and is useful for users who experience motion sensitivity.

UI Scale¶

Adjust the interface zoom level to make everything larger or smaller. The slider ranges allow fine-tuning for your display and preference. Click Reset to 100% to return to the default scale.

General¶

Language¶

Choose the interface language. Backend.AI GO supports:

• English
• Korean (한국어)

Timestamps¶

Configure how message timestamps are displayed throughout the application. See Chat Interface > Timestamp Display for details.

Models¶

For model-specific settings such as loading parameters and generation defaults, see Model Settings & Parameters.

Generation¶

The Generation section contains inference parameters and conversation behavior settings.

• Restore last chat session on entry: When enabled (the default), navigating to the chat screen without an active session automatically reopens your most recently updated conversation. Disable this if you prefer to always start at a blank chat.

See Conversation Management > Session Restore for more details.

Tools & Extensions¶

Configure tool permissions and MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. See MCP Integration for details.

Memory¶

The Memory section configures the persistent memory system. For a complete guide to memory banks, the Memory Viewer, auto-extraction, and memory injection, see Memory.

Advanced¶

The Advanced section contains network settings, logging, and developer options.

Port Ranges¶

Backend.AI GO binds several local TCP port pools. You normally never need to touch these, but if another application reserves the defaults — most commonly WSL2/Hyper-V on Windows — you can move the pools to a free range here.

• Inference Server Ports: The port pool for local inference servers (llama-server). Default 39000–39019.
• System Monitor Ports: The port pool for the system monitor service (all-smi). Default 39500–39509.

The API server / router port is configured separately under Settings → API → Port (default 39080).

If you hit a "No available ports" error — especially on Windows with WSL2 — see Troubleshooting → Windows/WSL2 port conflicts for the diagnostic command and the recommended workarounds.
