Windows - AppData/Roaming - Config.json for shared computer

[mrhhats]

Hi everyone. Running a business windows domain network. Have a meeting room PC which all our users can log into as their own profiles.

Problem is each new user will not have the config.json file and our streamdeck won't work until they manually 'change host'

Any way to standardize and put in a central location the config.json file so all profiles will read from there?

thank you!

There isn't currently a way to do this cleanly, but it would be reasonable to add.

Perhaps it should be possible to define a registry key for the path use? Would it need to handle that path being readonly? Should it be possible to disable changing the host/port too?

An alternate option would be to use some script that gets run upon login to copy the config.json into the correct place in the user folder.
Or to run satellite as a service in its own user account, which would also allow it to work when no user is logged in.

Any idea on how to run it as a service? What steps to do? I've tried to download the repo and build it with npm run dist but not able to run the program with node directly. Prolly doing it wrong. Any tip here?
