Issue/Question about the web UI

[Possibilities]

Hey, I recently set up an instance of Gekko on a VPS. 

When i use 

Code:

node gekko --ui

 
to start the web interface, and when I close the web interface, nothing saves. 
In addition, when I use

Code:

node gekko --config config.js

It only opens a CLI. 
I have a config.js file with all the settings I need, but the UI won't load the config. The config is only loaded with the node gekko --config config.js  command, which only launches a CLI.
I've tried 

Code:

node gekko --config config.js  --ui

But that still doesn't load the config in the UI.
I am wondering if there's a way for the UI to either link to the CLI interface or for the UI to load my config.js.
Any help is appreciated.
