+Create a file called for example `/data/config/webui.yaml` with this content :

+```yaml
+page_refresh: 300
+webui.default_dashboard_id: 0
+```
+
+This configuration will be seeded into the LibreNMS database when it is first deployed 
+and will override the default values.
+
+### Live Configuration
+
+You can edit the running configuration via the LibreNMS web UI or `lnms config:set`
+
+```bash
+docker-compose exec librenms lnms config:set page_refresh 300
+```
+
+### Re-Apply YAML Config
+
+Set `REAPPLY_YAML_CONFIG=1` to overwrite any settings that are set during initial config
+or via user config back to their initial values every time the container is deployed.
+
+### Live Config
+
+Using this config method, configuration changes will be reflected live on the containers, BUT
+you will be unable to edit the configured settings from within the LibreNMS web UI or lnms config:set.

+The same example using PHP `/data/config/webui.php`
