LibreChat - Help required for multiple issues

[nigel2652]

Hello,

I've installed LibreChat via docker and requires help in fixing some issues. Please assist.

1. Caching - When I open LibreChat, often it returns me a 'Welcome Back' screen and to get the chat window I had to hard refresh the page or manually clear the cookies and cache to fix it

2. The right side panel. We need to hide the right side panel completely, but currently it is not working. The librechat.yaml file entry is as below:
   interface:
   endpointsMenu: false
   modelSelect: false
   parameters: false
   sidePanel: false
   presets: false
   prompts: false
   bookmarks: false
   multiConvo: false
   agents: false

Even after this, the right side panel is still active and the 'parameters', 'attach file' options are still available

3. We also cannot see the option to manage the registered accounts from the admin user.

Thank you.
Nigel

2. Probably your librechat.yaml have mistakes, that's why current configuration isn't applying.
   Use the following comand to check how LibreChat container resolve configauration:
   docker compose stop
   docker compose up

Attached the .env and librechat files for reference. The files extensions has been changed to upload the files.

Once a change is done on any of the config files, I usually bring down the docker containers using 'docker compose down' and then bring it up using 'docker compose up'.

Thank you.

librechat.yaml.txt

librechat.yaml file quite small, no errors btw. Maybe config isn't applying cause of CONFIG_PATH (it's not neccessary cause you use default route) in .env or Docker file/compose settings, specifically one that mount volume to container.

[nigel2652]

Thanks for the reply. I also enabled CONFIG_PATH in librechat.yaml but still same issue persists. Like you mentioned, librechat.yaml is already mounted to container. Anyway, I will do more investigation and get back to you.

Thank you

I hit this too, and changing cache: false was able to fix it for me.

[nigel2652]

@thethomp : Sorry I didnt get for which issue you suggested to change the 'cache' value. Is it for the blank welcome screen? And if so do I need to add it in the .env file? Please clarify and thanks for your reply.

3. Currently admin page isn't supported (btw included in 2025 roadmap), so the only option is to manually fetch/edit data from mongodb container.

This relates to something that's a nice to have: technical admins being able to set up simplified interfaces for non-technical users.
I think you're saying that this can be done by modifying the data in mongodb. Is that right? If so, can you expand on which data can be changed to accomplish that?

just for the record, we are looking to address this pain point before summer ends:

[Joshfindit]

@danny-avila Trust me, I am already excited for the admin panel!

I was asking as a "until the steering wheel is ready, you say I can drive it if I reach down and pull the tie rod myself?"

[nigel2652]

Any idea about the 'Welcome back' page issue? A screen shot is attached for reference. Like I mentioned, if I do a hard refresh, it will take me back to the login screen.

Is it possible your browser is blocking something for security reasons? Security settings or an extension?
