Coordinate system in GUI does not match machine

Coordinate system in GUI does not match machine was created by DieLimo
Hello everyone,
I probably have a very simple beginner's question that I just can't figure out how to solve.
I have a milling machine with x,y and Z travel and my home coordinate system is at the top right. I assume that you can do it this way or is this fundamentally wrong?
So that my coordinate system looks like this:
But the coordinate system in the GUI shows the opposite.
Video for better explanation: Link to video
I guess that my z-axis is the wrong way? Or the Y-Axis? And I also don't know which parameter I have to change in the ini-file (see attachment)?
Maybe someone can help me out with that.
Best regards

None of the above are OK, this is how it is usually done, almost always
forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...moving-axis-s#309571
You can have it as you want/like, but that will cause issues with every CAM you might use
Here is also the homing stuff
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/ini-homing.html
And to reverse motion to any axis, use the StepConf wizard to edit the existing config (or make a new one, you can have many configurations for a single machine), on the pinout page there is a check for reversing the signal to the right of every pin.

Thanks a lot for your two links and the tip with the StepConf. After changing the coordinate system to the near left side, I only had to invert one axis in the StepConf. Now everything works fine
