This is a cheat sheet for Pleroma configuration file, any setting possible to configure should be listed here.
-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).
+For OTP installations the configuration is typically stored in `/etc/pleroma/config.exs`.
-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).
+For from source installations Pleroma configuration works by first importing the base config `config/config.exs`, then overriding it by the environment config `config/$MIX_ENV.exs` and then overriding it by user config `config/$MIX_ENV.secret.exs`. In from source installations you should always make the changes to the user config and NEVER to the base config to avoid breakages and merge conflicts. So for production you change/add configuration to `config/prod.secret.exs`.
+
+To add configuration to your config file, you can copy it from the base config. The latest version of it can be viewed [here](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/blob/develop/config/config.exs). You can also use this file if you don't know how an option is supposed to be formatted.

### MRF policies
!!! note
- Configuring MRF policies is not enough for them to take effect. You have to enable them by specifying their module in `rewrite_policy` under [:instance](#instance) section.

+
+For big instances it's recommended to increase `config :pleroma, :connections_pool, max_connections: 500` up to 500-1000.
+It will increase memory usage, but federation would work faster.

+### :pools
+
+*For `gun` adapter*
+
+Advanced settings for workers pools.
+
+There are four pools used:
+
+* `:federation` for the federation jobs.
+ You may want this pool max_connections to be at least equal to the number of federator jobs + retry queue jobs.
+* `:media` for rich media, media proxy
+* `:upload` for uploaded media (if using a remote uploader and `proxy_remote: true`)

+* `:max_overflow` - additional workers if pool is under load
+
+

## Background jobs
### Oban
* `enabled: false` corresponds to `config :pleroma, :workers, retries: [federator_outgoing: 1]`
* deprecated options: `max_jobs`, `initial_timeout`
-### Pleroma.Scheduler
-
-Configuration for [Quantum](https://github.com/quantum-elixir/quantum-core) jobs scheduler.
-
-See [Quantum readme](https://github.com/quantum-elixir/quantum-core#usage) for the list of supported options.
-
-Example:
-
-```elixir
-config :pleroma, Pleroma.Scheduler,
- global: true,
- overlap: true,
- timezone: :utc,
- jobs: [{"0 */6 * * * *", {Pleroma.Web.Websub, :refresh_subscriptions, []}}]
-```
-
-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)).
-
## :web_push_encryption, :vapid_details
Web Push Notifications configuration. You can use the mix task `mix web_push.gen.keypair` to generate it.
* `runtime_dir`: A path to custom Elixir modules (such as MRF policies).
-
## :configurable_from_database
Boolean, enables/disables in-database configuration. Read [Transfering the config to/from the database](../administration/CLI_tasks/config.md) for more information.
+
+## :database_config_whitelist
+
+List of valid configuration sections which are allowed to be configured from the
+database. Settings stored in the database before the whitelist is configured are
+still applied, so it is suggested to only use the whitelist on instances that
+have not migrated the config to the database.
+
+Example:
+```elixir
+config :pleroma, :database_config_whitelist, [
+ {:pleroma, :instance},
+ {:pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Metadata},
+ {:auto_linker}
+]
+```
+
+### Multi-factor authentication - :two_factor_authentication
+* `totp` - a list containing TOTP configuration
+ - `digits` - Determines the length of a one-time pass-code in characters. Defaults to 6 characters.
+ - `period` - a period for which the TOTP code will be valid in seconds. Defaults to 30 seconds.
+* `backup_codes` - a list containing backup codes configuration
+ - `number` - number of backup codes to generate.
+ - `length` - backup code length. Defaults to 16 characters.
+
+## Restrict entities access for unauthenticated users
+
+### :restrict_unauthenticated
+
+Restrict access for unauthenticated users to timelines (public and federated), user profiles and statuses.
+
+* `timelines`: public and federated timelines
+ * `local`: public timeline
+ * `federated`: federated timeline (includes public timeline)
+* `profiles`: user profiles
+ * `local`
+ * `remote`
+* `activities`: statuses
+ * `local`
+ * `remote`
+
+Note: setting `restrict_unauthenticated/timelines/local` to `true` has no practical sense if `restrict_unauthenticated/timelines/federated` is set to `false` (since local public activities will still be delivered to unauthenticated users as part of federated timeline).
+
+## Pleroma.Web.ApiSpec.CastAndValidate
+
+* `:strict` a boolean, enables strict input validation (useful in development, not recommended in production). Defaults to `false`.
