How to set autoUpdate to false using .profile ? - princejjpablo - 29-01-2026 00:32
Hi I constantly recreate minimserver setups using profiles.
I would like to set .autoUpdate to false using .profile is there any way to set this?
It is greyed out on the properties > System and there does not seem to be any information about how to change this setting without having to go to the interface to set it?
is there a file that I can append .autoUpdate=false to which will allow me to overwrite this setting?

I just realized this post starts off as a question (should be in the General Forum) but would like support since it seems I am unable to change this value to false in any file.
I am on Fedora Linux running Minimserver 2.2 update 267

I am not seeing this. I did the following:
1) Stop MinimServer
2) Edit the .profile file to add this line: .autoUpdate = false
3) Start MinimServer
As expected, .autoUpdate is now set to false.

That is what I thought as well: in my default.profile I added
.autoUpdate = false
Here is what my .profile looks like:
.profileVersion = 2.2
contentDir=/media/library
.autoUpdate = false
But when starting minimserver and going into Properties > System I can see .autoUpdate is grey and still set to true

Do you have a full license or a trial license? To change the .autoUpdate property (and many other properties), a full license is needed.
