Breaking changes

Previously, to persist custom TinyPilot settings across updates, you could export a custom TINYPILOT_INSTALL_VARS variable in your .bashrc file. If you update from the web UI, TinyPilot will not read your .bashrc settings.

Instead, you can persist settings in /home/tinypilot/settings.yml. This is the new supported way of customizing TinyPilot's settings moving forward.
