Each card module on the dashboard has its own launch configuration. Use this configuration to manage launch arguments, pre-launch scripts, browser viewports, and custom commands. To open the launch configuration panel:
  1. Locate the card on your dashboard.
  2. Click the 3 dots menu in the top-right corner of the card.
  3. Click Launch Config from the dropdown menu.

​
Visual argument manager

The visual argument manager allows you to toggle command-line arguments without editing scripts:
  • Presets: Choose from pre-configured argument presets or save your own custom presets using the Save Preset option.
  • Custom arguments: Toggle individual argument flags (such as --use-cpu, --lowvram, or --xformers) to control how the local AI model runs on your hardware.
  • Support custom arguments toggle: You can enable or disable custom visual argument rendering using the Custom Arguments UI setting.

​
Pre-launch configurations

Configure scripts and resources that execute before the main backend process boots.

​
Terminal commands

Add commands to prepare your execution environment:
  • Use this to activate virtual environments: conda activate myenv or .\venv\Scripts\activate.
  • Use this to set environment variables on Windows: set CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0.
  • Use this to set environment variables on Linux/macOS: export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0.
To add a command:
  1. Click Add Command under the Pre-Launch Commands section.
  2. Type the shell command.
  3. The host executes these commands in sequence in the terminal tab before launching the module.

​
Open files and folders

Automatically open files or directories in native system applications when the card launches:
  • Select Add File or Add Folder.
  • Specify the absolute path (such as D:\AI\outputs or D:\AI\config.json).
  • When the card launches, LynxHub opens these folders or configuration files in your default explorer or editor.

​
Custom run configurations

Override the default startup scripts and configure process settings:
  • Custom launch command: Enable this to bypass default run commands. Enter your own command line execution string (e.g. python launch.py --listen --theme dark).
  • Launch behavior: Choose the viewport display layout when running the card:
    • Split View (Default): Show terminal stream output on the left and the web browser on the right.
    • Terminal Only: Hides the browser and displays only the terminal tab.
    • Browser Only: Hides the terminal tab and opens the browser full-screen.
    • None: Launches the process invisibly in the background.
  • Browser load delay: Set the delay (in milliseconds) before the integrated browser starts loading the address. The default is 0ms.
  • Auto-close terminal on exit: Enable this to close the terminal tab automatically when the backend process terminates.

​
Address detection

LynxHub reads the stdout stream from the terminal process to detect when the local web server is ready. Customize how LynxHub captures this address:
  • Automatic detection: Uses standard port patterns (such as http://127.0.0.1:7860) to redirect the browser.
  • Custom port override: Force the browser to open a specific address or port.
  • Regex catch pattern: Set a custom regular expression pattern to parse the console output and extract the local URL.
