Managing an instance

All your instance data is stored in your Gitlab project. This means that all administrative tasks can be performed there.

Nevertheless, it's important to remember that manipulating data is no simple matter.

An image, for example, is referenced in four places:

• in the symbols.json file, where the image's metadata are indicated: dimensions, categories, title, etc.
• in the symbols folder: the image itself
• a thumbnail in .png or .jpg format in the symbols/previews folder
• a (much reduced) thumbnail in .webp format in the symbols/thumbnails folder

You need to :

• generate images in the right format and resolution;
• ensure that files are in the right places and with the right names;

And since using Gitlab is complicated, we've developed a online backoffice called backtivisda. This backoffice allows you to perform the most common manipulations.
