Configuring Backstage
Setting the application name
Let's make Backstage a bit more personalized. In this step, you'll be updating the application and company name shown in the Backstage UI.
The default Backstage Catalog screen will look like this:
![Screenshot of the Backstage Catalog, the name in the header is: My Company Catalog](https://backstage-spotify-com.spotifycdn.com/_next/static/media/name-1.5c70813f.png)
In the root directory of the Backstage app, open app-config.yaml
and update the values of title
and name
:
app:
title: Rockit Engine
organization:
name: Rockit Rockets
The default .gitignore file created with the app excludes *.local.yaml from source control for you, so you can add passwords or tokens directly into the app-config.local.yaml.
Restart Backstage from the terminal, by stopping it with Control-C
, and starting it with yarn dev
to see the changes.
The default Backstage Catalog screen will look like this:

Optional: change the logo
The Backstage logo can be changed too, take a look in packages/app/src/components/Root
where you’ll find LogoFull
and LogoIcon
. You can replace these to change the logo.
