1 # Configuration Cheat Sheet
2
3 This is a cheat sheet for Pleroma configuration file, any setting possible to configure should be listed here.
4
5 Pleroma configuration works by first importing the base config (`config/config.exs` on source installs, compiled-in on OTP releases), then overriding it by the environment config (`config/$MIX_ENV.exs` on source installs, N/A to OTP releases) and then overriding it by user config (`config/$MIX_ENV.secret.exs` on source installs, typically `/etc/pleroma/config.exs` on OTP releases).
6
7 You shouldn't edit the base config directly to avoid breakages and merge conflicts, but it can be used as a reference if you don't understand how an option is supposed to be formatted, the latest version of it can be viewed [here](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/blob/develop/config/config.exs).

315 * `reserved` - Defaults to [localhost](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost) and [private network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network).
316
317
318 ### :rate_limit
319
320 !!! note
321 If your instance is behind a reverse proxy ensure [`Pleroma.Plugs.RemoteIp`](#pleroma-plugs-remoteip) is enabled (it is enabled by default).
322
323 A keyword list of rate limiters where a key is a limiter name and value is the limiter configuration. The basic configuration is a tuple where:
324
325 * The first element: `scale` (Integer). The time scale in milliseconds.
326 * The second element: `limit` (Integer). How many requests to limit in the time scale provided.
327
328 It is also possible to have different limits for unauthenticated and authenticated users: the keyword value must be a list of two tuples where the first one is a config for unauthenticated users and the second one is for authenticated.
329
330 For example:
331
332 ```elixir
333 config :pleroma, :rate_limit,
334 authentication: {60_000, 15},
335 search: [{1000, 10}, {1000, 30}]
336 ```
337
338 Means that:
339
340 1. In 60 seconds, 15 authentication attempts can be performed from the same IP address.
341 2. In 1 second, 10 search requests can be performed from the same IP adress by unauthenticated users, while authenticated users can perform 30 search requests per second.
342
343 Supported rate limiters:
344
345 * `:search` - Account/Status search.
346 * `:timeline` - Timeline requests (each timeline has it's own limiter).
347 * `:app_account_creation` - Account registration from the API.
348 * `:relations_actions` - Following/Unfollowing in general.
349 * `:relation_id_action` - Following/Unfollowing for a specific user.
350 * `:statuses_actions` - Status actions such as: (un)repeating, (un)favouriting, creating, deleting.
351 * `:status_id_action` - (un)Repeating/(un)Favouriting a particular status.
352 * `:authentication` - Authentication actions, i.e getting an OAuth token.
353 * `:password_reset` - Requesting password reset emails.
354 * `:account_confirmation_resend` - Requesting resending account confirmation emails.
355 * `:ap_routes` - Requesting statuses via ActivityPub.
356
357 ### :web_cache_ttl
358
359 The expiration time for the web responses cache. Values should be in milliseconds or `nil` to disable expiration.
360
361 Available caches:
362
363 * `:activity_pub` - activity pub routes (except question activities). Defaults to `nil` (no expiration).
364 * `:activity_pub_question` - activity pub routes (question activities). Defaults to `30_000` (30 seconds).
365
366 ## HTTP client
367
368 ### :http
369
370 * `proxy_url`: an upstream proxy to fetch posts and/or media with, (default: `nil`)
371 * `send_user_agent`: should we include a user agent with HTTP requests? (default: `true`)
372 * `user_agent`: what user agent should we use? (default: `:default`), must be string or `:default`
373 * `adapter`: array of adapter options
374
375 ### :hackney_pools
376
377 Advanced. Tweaks Hackney (http client) connections pools.
378
379 There's three pools used:
380
381 * `:federation` for the federation jobs.
382 You may want this pool max_connections to be at least equal to the number of federator jobs + retry queue jobs.
383 * `:media` for rich media, media proxy
384 * `:upload` for uploaded media (if using a remote uploader and `proxy_remote: true`)
385
386 For each pool, the options are:
387
388 * `max_connections` - how much connections a pool can hold
389 * `timeout` - retention duration for connections
390
391
392 ### :connections_pool
393
394 *For `gun` adapter*
395
396 Advanced settings for connections pool. Pool with opened connections. These connections can be reused in worker pools.
397
398 For big instances it's recommended to increase `config :pleroma, :connections_pool, max_connections: 500` up to 500-1000.
399 It will increase memory usage, but federation would work faster.
400
401 * `:receive_connection_timeout` - timeout to receive connection from pool. Default: 250ms.
402 * `:max_connections` - maximum number of connections in the pool. Default: 250 connections.
403 * `:retry` - number of retries, while `gun` will try to reconnect if connections goes down. Default: 5.
404 * `:retry_timeout` - timeout while `gun` will try to reconnect. Default: 100ms.
405 * `:await_up_timeout` - timeout while `gun` will wait until connection is up. Default: 5000ms.
406
407 ### :pools
408
409 *For `gun` adapter*
410
411 Advanced settings for workers pools.
412
413 There's four pools used:
414
415 * `:federation` for the federation jobs.
416 You may want this pool max_connections to be at least equal to the number of federator jobs + retry queue jobs.
417 * `:media` for rich media, media proxy
418 * `:upload` for uploaded media (if using a remote uploader and `proxy_remote: true`)
419 * `:default` for other requests
420
421 For each pool, the options are:
422
423 * `:size` - how much workers the pool can hold
424 * `:timeout` - timeout while `gun` will wait for response
425 * `:max_overflow` - additional workers if pool is under load
426
427
428 ## Captcha
429
430 ### Pleroma.Captcha
431
432 * `enabled`: Whether the captcha should be shown on registration.
433 * `method`: The method/service to use for captcha.
434 * `seconds_valid`: The time in seconds for which the captcha is valid.
435
436 ### Captcha providers
437
438 #### Pleroma.Captcha.Native
439
440 A built-in captcha provider. Enabled by default.
441
442 #### Pleroma.Captcha.Kocaptcha
443
444 Kocaptcha is a very simple captcha service with a single API endpoint,
445 the source code is here: https://github.com/koto-bank/kocaptcha. The default endpoint
446 `https://captcha.kotobank.ch` is hosted by the developer.
447
448 * `endpoint`: the Kocaptcha endpoint to use.
449
450 ## Uploads
451
452 ### Pleroma.Upload
453 * `uploader`: Which one of the [uploaders](#uploaders) to use.
454 * `filters`: List of [upload filters](#upload-filters) to use.
455 * `link_name`: When enabled Pleroma will add a `name` parameter to the url of the upload, for example `https://instance.tld/media/corndog.png?name=corndog.png`. This is needed to provide the correct filename in Content-Disposition headers when using filters like `Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Dedupe`
456 * `base_url`: The base URL to access a user-uploaded file. Useful when you want to proxy the media files via another host.
457 * `proxy_remote`: If you're using a remote uploader, Pleroma will proxy media requests instead of redirecting to it.
458 * `proxy_opts`: Proxy options, see `Pleroma.ReverseProxy` documentation.
459
460 !!! warning
461 `strip_exif` has been replaced by `Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Mogrify`.
462
463 ### Uploaders
464 #### Pleroma.Uploaders.Local
465 * `uploads`: Which directory to store the user-uploads in, relative to pleroma’s working directory.

470 * `public_endpoint`: S3 endpoint that the user finally accesses(ex. "https://s3.dualstack.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com")
471 * `truncated_namespace`: If you use S3 compatible service such as Digital Ocean Spaces or CDN, set folder name or "" etc.
472 For example, when using CDN to S3 virtual host format, set "".
473 At this time, write CNAME to CDN in public_endpoint.
474 * `streaming_enabled`: Enable streaming uploads, when enabled the file will be sent to the server in chunks as it's being read. This may be unsupported by some providers, try disabling this if you have upload problems.
475
476
477 ### Upload filters
478
479 #### Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Mogrify

484
485 No specific configuration.
486
487 #### Pleroma.Upload.Filter.AnonymizeFilename
488
489 This filter replaces the filename (not the path) of an upload. For complete obfuscation, add
490 `Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Dedupe` before AnonymizeFilename.
491
492 * `text`: Text to replace filenames in links. If empty, `{random}.extension` will be used. You can get the original filename extension by using `{extension}`, for example `custom-file-name.{extension}`.
493
494 ## Email
495
496 ### Pleroma.Emails.Mailer
497 * `adapter`: one of the mail adapters listed in [Swoosh readme](https://github.com/swoosh/swoosh#adapters), or `Swoosh.Adapters.Local` for in-memory mailbox.

500
501 An example for Sendgrid adapter:
502
503 ```elixir
504 config :pleroma, Pleroma.Emails.Mailer,
505 enabled: true,
506 adapter: Swoosh.Adapters.Sendgrid,
507 api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY"
508 ```
509

544
545 ## Background jobs
546
547 ### Oban
548
549 [Oban](https://github.com/sorentwo/oban) asynchronous job processor configuration.
550
551 Configuration options described in [Oban readme](https://github.com/sorentwo/oban#usage):
552
553 * `repo` - app's Ecto repo (`Pleroma.Repo`)
554 * `verbose` - logs verbosity
555 * `prune` - non-retryable jobs [pruning settings](https://github.com/sorentwo/oban#pruning) (`:disabled` / `{:maxlen, value}` / `{:maxage, value}`)
556 * `queues` - job queues (see below)
557 * `crontab` - periodic jobs, see [`Oban.Cron`](#obancron)
558
559 Pleroma has the following queues:
560
561 * `activity_expiration` - Activity expiration
562 * `federator_outgoing` - Outgoing federation
563 * `federator_incoming` - Incoming federation
564 * `mailer` - Email sender, see [`Pleroma.Emails.Mailer`](#pleromaemailsmailer)
565 * `transmogrifier` - Transmogrifier
566 * `web_push` - Web push notifications
567 * `scheduled_activities` - Scheduled activities, see [`Pleroma.ScheduledActivity`](#pleromascheduledactivity)
568
569 #### Oban.Cron
570
571 Pleroma has these periodic job workers:
572
573 `Pleroma.Workers.Cron.ClearOauthTokenWorker` - a job worker to cleanup expired oauth tokens.
574
575 Example:
576
577 ```elixir
578 config :pleroma, Oban,
579 repo: Pleroma.Repo,
580 verbose: false,
581 prune: {:maxlen, 1500},
582 queues: [
583 federator_incoming: 50,
584 federator_outgoing: 50
585 ],
586 crontab: [
587 {"0 0 * * *", Pleroma.Workers.Cron.ClearOauthTokenWorker}
588 ]
589 ```
590
591 This config contains two queues: `federator_incoming` and `federator_outgoing`. Both have the number of max concurrent jobs set to `50`.
592
593 #### Migrating `pleroma_job_queue` settings
594
595 `config :pleroma_job_queue, :queues` is replaced by `config :pleroma, Oban, :queues` and uses the same format (keys are queues' names, values are max concurrent jobs numbers).
596
597 ### :workers
598
599 Includes custom worker options not interpretable directly by `Oban`.
600
601 * `retries` — keyword lists where keys are `Oban` queues (see above) and values are numbers of max attempts for failed jobs.
602
603 Example:
604
605 ```elixir
606 config :pleroma, :workers,
607 retries: [
608 federator_incoming: 5,
609 federator_outgoing: 5
610 ]
611 ```
612
613 #### Migrating `Pleroma.Web.Federator.RetryQueue` settings
614
615 * `max_retries` is replaced with `config :pleroma, :workers, retries: [federator_outgoing: 5]`
616 * `enabled: false` corresponds to `config :pleroma, :workers, retries: [federator_outgoing: 1]`
617 * deprecated options: `max_jobs`, `initial_timeout`
618
619 ### Pleroma.Scheduler
620
621 Configuration for [Quantum](https://github.com/quantum-elixir/quantum-core) jobs scheduler.
622
623 See [Quantum readme](https://github.com/quantum-elixir/quantum-core#usage) for the list of supported options.
624
625 Example:
626
627 ```elixir
628 config :pleroma, Pleroma.Scheduler,
629 global: true,
630 overlap: true,
631 timezone: :utc,
632 jobs: [{"0 */6 * * * *", {Pleroma.Web.Websub, :refresh_subscriptions, []}}]
633 ```
634
635 The above example defines a single job which invokes `Pleroma.Web.Websub.refresh_subscriptions()` every 6 hours ("0 */6 * * * *", [crontab format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron)).
636
637 ## :web_push_encryption, :vapid_details
638
639 Web Push Notifications configuration. You can use the mix task `mix web_push.gen.keypair` to generate it.
640
641 * ``subject``: a mailto link for the administrative contact. It’s best if this email is not a personal email address, but rather a group email so that if a person leaves an organization, is unavailable for an extended period, or otherwise can’t respond, someone else on the list can.
642 * ``public_key``: VAPID public key
643 * ``private_key``: VAPID private key
644
645 ## :logger
646 * `backends`: `:console` is used to send logs to stdout, `{ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}` to log to syslog, and `Quack.Logger` to log to Slack
647
648 An example to enable ONLY ExSyslogger (f/ex in ``prod.secret.exs``) with info and debug suppressed:
649 ```elixir
650 config :logger,
651 backends: [{ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}]
652
653 config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
654 level: :warn
655 ```
656
657 Another example, keeping console output and adding the pid to syslog output:
658 ```elixir
659 config :logger,
660 backends: [:console, {ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}]
661
662 config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
663 level: :warn,
664 option: [:pid, :ndelay]
665 ```
666
667 See: [logger’s documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/logger/Logger.html) and [ex_syslogger’s documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/ex_syslogger/)
668
669 An example of logging info to local syslog, but warn to a Slack channel:
670 ```elixir
671 config :logger,
672 backends: [ {ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}, Quack.Logger ],
673 level: :info
674
675 config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
676 level: :info,
677 ident: "pleroma",
678 format: "$metadata[$level] $message"
679
680 config :quack,
681 level: :warn,
682 meta: [:all],
683 webhook_url: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR-API-KEY-HERE"
684 ```
685
686 See the [Quack Github](https://github.com/azohra/quack) for more details
687
688
689
690 ## Database options
691
692 ### RUM indexing for full text search
693
694 !!! warning
695 It is recommended to use PostgreSQL v11 or newer. We have seen some minor issues with lower PostgreSQL versions.
696
697 * `rum_enabled`: If RUM indexes should be used. Defaults to `false`.
698
699 RUM indexes are an alternative indexing scheme that is not included in PostgreSQL by default. While they may eventually be mainlined, for now they have to be installed as a PostgreSQL extension from https://github.com/postgrespro/rum.
700
701 Their advantage over the standard GIN indexes is that they allow efficient ordering of search results by timestamp, which makes search queries a lot faster on larger servers, by one or two orders of magnitude. They take up around 3 times as much space as GIN indexes.
702
703 To enable them, both the `rum_enabled` flag has to be set and the following special migration has to be run:
704
705 `mix ecto.migrate --migrations-path priv/repo/optional_migrations/rum_indexing/`
706
707 This will probably take a long time.
708
709 ## Alternative client protocols
710
711 ### BBS / SSH access
712
713 To enable simple command line interface accessible over ssh, add a setting like this to your configuration file:
714
715 ```exs
716 app_dir = File.cwd!
717 priv_dir = Path.join([app_dir, "priv/ssh_keys"])
718
719 config :esshd,
720 enabled: true,
721 priv_dir: priv_dir,
722 handler: "Pleroma.BBS.Handler",
723 port: 10_022,
724 password_authenticator: "Pleroma.BBS.Authenticator"
725 ```
726
727 Feel free to adjust the priv_dir and port number. Then you will have to create the key for the keys (in the example `priv/ssh_keys`) and create the host keys with `ssh-keygen -m PEM -N "" -b 2048 -t rsa -f ssh_host_rsa_key`. After restarting, you should be able to connect to your Pleroma instance with `ssh username@server -p $PORT`
728
729 ### :gopher
730 * `enabled`: Enables the gopher interface
731 * `ip`: IP address to bind to
732 * `port`: Port to bind to
733 * `dstport`: Port advertised in urls (optional, defaults to `port`)
734
735
736 ## Authentication
737
738 ### :admin_token
739
740 Allows to set a token that can be used to authenticate with the admin api without using an actual user by giving it as the `admin_token` parameter or `x-admin-token` HTTP header. Example:
741
742 ```elixir
743 config :pleroma, :admin_token, "somerandomtoken"
744 ```
745
746 You can then do
747
748 ```shell
749 curl "http://localhost:4000/api/pleroma/admin/users/invites?admin_token=somerandomtoken"
750 ```
751
752 or
753
754 ```shell
755 curl -H "X-Admin-Token: somerandomtoken" "http://localhost:4000/api/pleroma/admin/users/invites"
756 ```
757
758 ### :auth
759
760 * `Pleroma.Web.Auth.PleromaAuthenticator`: default database authenticator.
761 * `Pleroma.Web.Auth.LDAPAuthenticator`: LDAP authentication.
762
763 Authentication / authorization settings.
764
765 * `auth_template`: authentication form template. By default it's `show.html` which corresponds to `lib/pleroma/web/templates/o_auth/o_auth/show.html.eex`.
766 * `oauth_consumer_template`: OAuth consumer mode authentication form template. By default it's `consumer.html` which corresponds to `lib/pleroma/web/templates/o_auth/o_auth/consumer.html.eex`.
767 * `oauth_consumer_strategies`: the list of enabled OAuth consumer strategies; by default it's set by `OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES` environment variable. Each entry in this space-delimited string should be of format `<strategy>` or `<strategy>:<dependency>` (e.g. `twitter` or `keycloak:ueberauth_keycloak_strategy` in case dependency is named differently than `ueberauth_<strategy>`).
768
769 ### Pleroma.Web.Auth.Authenticator
770
771 * `Pleroma.Web.Auth.PleromaAuthenticator`: default database authenticator.
772 * `Pleroma.Web.Auth.LDAPAuthenticator`: LDAP authentication.
773
774 ### :ldap
775
776 Use LDAP for user authentication. When a user logs in to the Pleroma
777 instance, the name and password will be verified by trying to authenticate
778 (bind) to an LDAP server. If a user exists in the LDAP directory but there
779 is no account with the same name yet on the Pleroma instance then a new
780 Pleroma account will be created with the same name as the LDAP user name.
781
782 * `enabled`: enables LDAP authentication
783 * `host`: LDAP server hostname
784 * `port`: LDAP port, e.g. 389 or 636
785 * `ssl`: true to use SSL, usually implies the port 636
786 * `sslopts`: additional SSL options
787 * `tls`: true to start TLS, usually implies the port 389
788 * `tlsopts`: additional TLS options
789 * `base`: LDAP base, e.g. "dc=example,dc=com"
790 * `uid`: LDAP attribute name to authenticate the user, e.g. when "cn", the filter will be "cn=username,base"
791
792 ### OAuth consumer mode
793
794 OAuth consumer mode allows sign in / sign up via external OAuth providers (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc.).
795 Implementation is based on Ueberauth; see the list of [available strategies](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth/wiki/List-of-Strategies).
796
797 !!! note
798 Each strategy is shipped as a separate dependency; in order to get the strategies, run `OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES="..." mix deps.get`, e.g. `OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES="twitter facebook google microsoft" mix deps.get`. The server should also be started with `OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES="..." mix phx.server` in case you enable any strategies.
799
800 !!! note
801 Each strategy requires separate setup (on external provider side and Pleroma side). Below are the guidelines on setting up most popular strategies.
802
803 !!! note
804 Make sure that `"SameSite=Lax"` is set in `extra_cookie_attrs` when you have this feature enabled. OAuth consumer mode will not work with `"SameSite=Strict"`
805
806 * For Twitter, [register an app](https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/twitter/callback
807
808 * For Facebook, [register an app](https://developers.facebook.com/apps), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/facebook/callback, enable Facebook Login service at https://developers.facebook.com/apps/<app_id>/fb-login/settings/
809
810 * For Google, [register an app](https://console.developers.google.com), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/google/callback
811
812 * For Microsoft, [register an app](https://portal.azure.com), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/microsoft/callback
813
814 Once the app is configured on external OAuth provider side, add app's credentials and strategy-specific settings (if any — e.g. see Microsoft below) to `config/prod.secret.exs`,
815 per strategy's documentation (e.g. [ueberauth_twitter](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth_twitter)). Example config basing on environment variables:
816
817 ```elixir
818 # Twitter
819 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Twitter.OAuth,
820 consumer_key: System.get_env("TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY"),
821 consumer_secret: System.get_env("TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET")
822
823 # Facebook
824 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Facebook.OAuth,
825 client_id: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_APP_ID"),
826 client_secret: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET"),
827 redirect_uri: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_REDIRECT_URI")

837 client_id: System.get_env("MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID"),
838 client_secret: System.get_env("MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET")
839
840 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
841 providers: [
842 microsoft: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Microsoft, [callback_params: []]}
843 ]
844
845 # Keycloak
846 # Note: make sure to add `keycloak:ueberauth_keycloak_strategy` entry to `OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES` environment variable
847 keycloak_url = "https://publicly-reachable-keycloak-instance.org:8080"
848
849 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Keycloak.OAuth,
850 client_id: System.get_env("KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID"),
851 client_secret: System.get_env("KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET"),

854 token_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token",
855 userinfo_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo",
856 token_method: :post
857
858 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
859 providers: [
860 keycloak: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Keycloak, [uid_field: :email]}
861 ]
862 ```
863
864 ### OAuth 2.0 provider - :oauth2
865
866 Configure OAuth 2 provider capabilities:
867
868 * `token_expires_in` - The lifetime in seconds of the access token.
869 * `issue_new_refresh_token` - Keeps old refresh token or generate new refresh token when to obtain an access token.
870 * `clean_expired_tokens` - Enable a background job to clean expired oauth tokens. Defaults to `false`. Interval settings sets in configuration periodic jobs [`Oban.Cron`](#obancron)
871
872 ## Link parsing
873
874 ### :uri_schemes
875 * `valid_schemes`: List of the scheme part that is considered valid to be an URL.
876
877 ### :auto_linker
878
879 Configuration for the `auto_linker` library:
880
881 * `class: "auto-linker"` - specify the class to be added to the generated link. false to clear.
882 * `rel: "noopener noreferrer"` - override the rel attribute. false to clear.
883 * `new_window: true` - set to false to remove `target='_blank'` attribute.
884 * `scheme: false` - Set to true to link urls with schema `http://google.com`.
885 * `truncate: false` - Set to a number to truncate urls longer then the number. Truncated urls will end in `..`.
886 * `strip_prefix: true` - Strip the scheme prefix.
887 * `extra: false` - link urls with rarely used schemes (magnet, ipfs, irc, etc.).
888
889 Example:
890
891 ```elixir
892 config :auto_linker,
893 opts: [
