Knowledge Base

Bubble can be installed as an MSI installation file. See for this Partner Portal > Software on this knowledge base. The installation file is digitally signed by Red Cactus. This verifies that the file and content are from Red Cactus and no changes have been made to the code. In addition, the installation file will be automatically allowed by the Microsoft SmartScreen.

Terminal server

Bubble is also compatible for terminal server environments. Make sure the terminal server environment meets the system requirements. Only one Bubble process has access to the user folder. So depending on the terminal server configuration, in some situation you will have to make sure that each hotdesk workstation has its own user folder defined. See this knowledge base article.

macOS

Creating a config.ini

In this knowledge base we mention that you can adjust various settings through a config.ini file. Creating a config.ini file is very simple. Open notepad (As Administrator) and add the parameters you want to use (see screenshot below). Note, always start with ‘ [bubble] ‘.

Then click File > Save as > and name the file config.ini

Then Save in one of the listed locations, depending if you want to change settings system wide or user specific.

When Bubble starts, it tries to load the config.ini from the following locations:

    Windows: C:\Program Files\Bubble\config.ini
    MacOS: /Applications/Bubble.app/Contents/MacOS/config.ini
