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 For OTP installations the configuration is typically stored in `/etc/pleroma/config.exs`.
6
7 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`.
8
9 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.

343 !!! note
344 If your instance is behind a reverse proxy ensure [`Pleroma.Plugs.RemoteIp`](#pleroma-plugs-remoteip) is enabled (it is enabled by default).
345
346 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:
347
348 * The first element: `scale` (Integer). The time scale in milliseconds.
349 * The second element: `limit` (Integer). How many requests to limit in the time scale provided.
350
351 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.

405 You may want this pool max_connections to be at least equal to the number of federator jobs + retry queue jobs.
406 * `:media` for rich media, media proxy
407 * `:upload` for uploaded media (if using a remote uploader and `proxy_remote: true`)
408
409 For each pool, the options are:
410
411 * `max_connections` - how much connections a pool can hold
412 * `timeout` - retention duration for connections
413
414
415 ### :connections_pool
416
417 *For `gun` adapter*
418
419 Advanced settings for connections pool. Pool with opened connections. These connections can be reused in worker pools.
420
421 For big instances it's recommended to increase `config :pleroma, :connections_pool, max_connections: 500` up to 500-1000.
422 It will increase memory usage, but federation would work faster.
423
424 * `:checkin_timeout` - timeout to checkin connection from pool. Default: 250ms.
425 * `:max_connections` - maximum number of connections in the pool. Default: 250 connections.
426 * `:retry` - number of retries, while `gun` will try to reconnect if connection goes down. Default: 1.
427 * `:retry_timeout` - time between retries when `gun` will try to reconnect in milliseconds. Default: 1000ms.
428 * `:await_up_timeout` - timeout while `gun` will wait until connection is up. Default: 5000ms.
429
430 ### :pools
431
432 *For `gun` adapter*
433
434 Advanced settings for workers pools.
435
436 There are four pools used:
437
438 * `:federation` for the federation jobs.
439 You may want this pool max_connections to be at least equal to the number of federator jobs + retry queue jobs.
440 * `:media` for rich media, media proxy
441 * `:upload` for uploaded media (if using a remote uploader and `proxy_remote: true`)
442 * `:default` for other requests
443
444 For each pool, the options are:
445
446 * `:size` - how much workers the pool can hold
447 * `:timeout` - timeout while `gun` will wait for response
448 * `:max_overflow` - additional workers if pool is under load
449
450
451 ## Captcha
452
453 ### Pleroma.Captcha
454
455 * `enabled`: Whether the captcha should be shown on registration.

461 #### Pleroma.Captcha.Native
462
463 A built-in captcha provider. Enabled by default.
464
465 #### Pleroma.Captcha.Kocaptcha
466
467 Kocaptcha is a very simple captcha service with a single API endpoint,
468 the source code is here: https://github.com/koto-bank/kocaptcha. The default endpoint
469 `https://captcha.kotobank.ch` is hosted by the developer.
470
471 * `endpoint`: the Kocaptcha endpoint to use.
472

474
475 ### Pleroma.Upload
476 * `uploader`: Which one of the [uploaders](#uploaders) to use.
477 * `filters`: List of [upload filters](#upload-filters) to use.
478 * `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`
479 * `base_url`: The base URL to access a user-uploaded file. Useful when you want to proxy the media files via another host.
480 * `proxy_remote`: If you're using a remote uploader, Pleroma will proxy media requests instead of redirecting to it.
481 * `proxy_opts`: Proxy options, see `Pleroma.ReverseProxy` documentation.
482
483 !!! warning
484 `strip_exif` has been replaced by `Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Mogrify`.

494 * `truncated_namespace`: If you use S3 compatible service such as Digital Ocean Spaces or CDN, set folder name or "" etc.
495 For example, when using CDN to S3 virtual host format, set "".
496 At this time, write CNAME to CDN in public_endpoint.
497 * `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.
498
499
500 ### Upload filters
501
502 #### Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Mogrify

508 No specific configuration.
509
510 #### Pleroma.Upload.Filter.AnonymizeFilename
511
512 This filter replaces the filename (not the path) of an upload. For complete obfuscation, add
513 `Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Dedupe` before AnonymizeFilename.
514
515 * `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}`.
516
517 ## Email

567
568 ## Background jobs
569
570 ### Oban
571
572 [Oban](https://github.com/sorentwo/oban) asynchronous job processor configuration.
573
574 Configuration options described in [Oban readme](https://github.com/sorentwo/oban#usage):
575
576 * `repo` - app's Ecto repo (`Pleroma.Repo`)
577 * `verbose` - logs verbosity
578 * `prune` - non-retryable jobs [pruning settings](https://github.com/sorentwo/oban#pruning) (`:disabled` / `{:maxlen, value}` / `{:maxage, value}`)
579 * `queues` - job queues (see below)
580 * `crontab` - periodic jobs, see [`Oban.Cron`](#obancron)
581
582 Pleroma has the following queues:
583
584 * `activity_expiration` - Activity expiration
585 * `federator_outgoing` - Outgoing federation
586 * `federator_incoming` - Incoming federation
587 * `mailer` - Email sender, see [`Pleroma.Emails.Mailer`](#pleromaemailsmailer)
588 * `transmogrifier` - Transmogrifier
589 * `web_push` - Web push notifications
590 * `scheduled_activities` - Scheduled activities, see [`Pleroma.ScheduledActivity`](#pleromascheduledactivity)
591
592 #### Oban.Cron
593
594 Pleroma has these periodic job workers:
595
596 `Pleroma.Workers.Cron.ClearOauthTokenWorker` - a job worker to cleanup expired oauth tokens.
597
598 Example:
599
600 ```elixir
601 config :pleroma, Oban,
602 repo: Pleroma.Repo,
603 verbose: false,
604 prune: {:maxlen, 1500},
605 queues: [
606 federator_incoming: 50,
607 federator_outgoing: 50
608 ],
609 crontab: [
610 {"0 0 * * *", Pleroma.Workers.Cron.ClearOauthTokenWorker}
611 ]
612 ```
613
614 This config contains two queues: `federator_incoming` and `federator_outgoing`. Both have the number of max concurrent jobs set to `50`.
615
616 #### Migrating `pleroma_job_queue` settings
617
618 `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).
619
620 ### :workers
621
622 Includes custom worker options not interpretable directly by `Oban`.
623
624 * `retries` — keyword lists where keys are `Oban` queues (see above) and values are numbers of max attempts for failed jobs.
625
626 Example:
627
628 ```elixir
629 config :pleroma, :workers,
630 retries: [
631 federator_incoming: 5,
632 federator_outgoing: 5
633 ]
634 ```
635
636 #### Migrating `Pleroma.Web.Federator.RetryQueue` settings
637
638 * `max_retries` is replaced with `config :pleroma, :workers, retries: [federator_outgoing: 5]`
639 * `enabled: false` corresponds to `config :pleroma, :workers, retries: [federator_outgoing: 1]`
640 * deprecated options: `max_jobs`, `initial_timeout`
641
642 ### Pleroma.Scheduler
643
644 Configuration for [Quantum](https://github.com/quantum-elixir/quantum-core) jobs scheduler.
645
646 See [Quantum readme](https://github.com/quantum-elixir/quantum-core#usage) for the list of supported options.
647
648 Example:
649
650 ```elixir
651 config :pleroma, Pleroma.Scheduler,
652 global: true,
653 overlap: true,
654 timezone: :utc,
655 jobs: [{"0 */6 * * * *", {Pleroma.Web.Websub, :refresh_subscriptions, []}}]
656 ```
657
658 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)).
659
660 ## :web_push_encryption, :vapid_details
661
662 Web Push Notifications configuration. You can use the mix task `mix web_push.gen.keypair` to generate it.
663
664 * ``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.
665 * ``public_key``: VAPID public key
666 * ``private_key``: VAPID private key
667
668 ## :logger
669 * `backends`: `:console` is used to send logs to stdout, `{ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}` to log to syslog, and `Quack.Logger` to log to Slack
670
671 An example to enable ONLY ExSyslogger (f/ex in ``prod.secret.exs``) with info and debug suppressed:
672 ```elixir
673 config :logger,
674 backends: [{ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}]
675
676 config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
677 level: :warn
678 ```
679
680 Another example, keeping console output and adding the pid to syslog output:
681 ```elixir
682 config :logger,
683 backends: [:console, {ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}]
684
685 config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
686 level: :warn,
687 option: [:pid, :ndelay]
688 ```
689
690 See: [logger’s documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/logger/Logger.html) and [ex_syslogger’s documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/ex_syslogger/)
691
692 An example of logging info to local syslog, but warn to a Slack channel:
693 ```elixir
694 config :logger,
695 backends: [ {ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}, Quack.Logger ],
696 level: :info
697
698 config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
699 level: :info,
700 ident: "pleroma",
701 format: "$metadata[$level] $message"
702
703 config :quack,
704 level: :warn,
705 meta: [:all],
706 webhook_url: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR-API-KEY-HERE"
707 ```
708
709 See the [Quack Github](https://github.com/azohra/quack) for more details
710
711
712
713 ## Database options
714
715 ### RUM indexing for full text search
716
717 !!! warning
718 It is recommended to use PostgreSQL v11 or newer. We have seen some minor issues with lower PostgreSQL versions.
719
720 * `rum_enabled`: If RUM indexes should be used. Defaults to `false`.
721
722 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.
723
724 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.
725
726 To enable them, both the `rum_enabled` flag has to be set and the following special migration has to be run:
727
728 `mix ecto.migrate --migrations-path priv/repo/optional_migrations/rum_indexing/`
729
730 This will probably take a long time.
731
732 ## Alternative client protocols
733
734 ### BBS / SSH access
735
736 To enable simple command line interface accessible over ssh, add a setting like this to your configuration file:
737
738 ```exs
739 app_dir = File.cwd!
740 priv_dir = Path.join([app_dir, "priv/ssh_keys"])
741
742 config :esshd,
743 enabled: true,
744 priv_dir: priv_dir,
745 handler: "Pleroma.BBS.Handler",
746 port: 10_022,
747 password_authenticator: "Pleroma.BBS.Authenticator"
748 ```
749
750 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`
751
752 ### :gopher
753 * `enabled`: Enables the gopher interface
754 * `ip`: IP address to bind to
755 * `port`: Port to bind to
756 * `dstport`: Port advertised in urls (optional, defaults to `port`)
757
758
759 ## Authentication
760
761 ### :admin_token
762
763 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:
764
765 ```elixir
766 config :pleroma, :admin_token, "somerandomtoken"
767 ```
768
769 You can then do
770
771 ```shell
772 curl "http://localhost:4000/api/pleroma/admin/users/invites?admin_token=somerandomtoken"
773 ```
774
775 or
776
777 ```shell
778 curl -H "X-Admin-Token: somerandomtoken" "http://localhost:4000/api/pleroma/admin/users/invites"
779 ```
780
781 ### :auth
782
783 * `Pleroma.Web.Auth.PleromaAuthenticator`: default database authenticator.
784 * `Pleroma.Web.Auth.LDAPAuthenticator`: LDAP authentication.
785
786 Authentication / authorization settings.
787
788 * `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`.
789 * `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`.
790 * `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>`).
791
792 ### Pleroma.Web.Auth.Authenticator
793
794 * `Pleroma.Web.Auth.PleromaAuthenticator`: default database authenticator.
795 * `Pleroma.Web.Auth.LDAPAuthenticator`: LDAP authentication.
796
797 ### :ldap
798
799 Use LDAP for user authentication. When a user logs in to the Pleroma
800 instance, the name and password will be verified by trying to authenticate
801 (bind) to an LDAP server. If a user exists in the LDAP directory but there
802 is no account with the same name yet on the Pleroma instance then a new
803 Pleroma account will be created with the same name as the LDAP user name.
804
805 * `enabled`: enables LDAP authentication
806 * `host`: LDAP server hostname
807 * `port`: LDAP port, e.g. 389 or 636
808 * `ssl`: true to use SSL, usually implies the port 636
809 * `sslopts`: additional SSL options
810 * `tls`: true to start TLS, usually implies the port 389
811 * `tlsopts`: additional TLS options
812 * `base`: LDAP base, e.g. "dc=example,dc=com"
813 * `uid`: LDAP attribute name to authenticate the user, e.g. when "cn", the filter will be "cn=username,base"
814
815 ### OAuth consumer mode
816
817 OAuth consumer mode allows sign in / sign up via external OAuth providers (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc.).
818 Implementation is based on Ueberauth; see the list of [available strategies](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth/wiki/List-of-Strategies).
819
820 !!! note
821 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.
822
823 !!! note
824 Each strategy requires separate setup (on external provider side and Pleroma side). Below are the guidelines on setting up most popular strategies.
825
826 !!! note
827 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"`
828
829 * For Twitter, [register an app](https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/twitter/callback
830
831 * 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/
832
833 * For Google, [register an app](https://console.developers.google.com), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/google/callback
834
835 * For Microsoft, [register an app](https://portal.azure.com), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/microsoft/callback
836
837 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`,
838 per strategy's documentation (e.g. [ueberauth_twitter](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth_twitter)). Example config basing on environment variables:
839
840 ```elixir
841 # Twitter
842 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Twitter.OAuth,
843 consumer_key: System.get_env("TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY"),
844 consumer_secret: System.get_env("TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET")
845
846 # Facebook
847 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Facebook.OAuth,
848 client_id: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_APP_ID"),
849 client_secret: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET"),
850 redirect_uri: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_REDIRECT_URI")
851
852 # Google

860 client_id: System.get_env("MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID"),
861 client_secret: System.get_env("MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET")
862
863 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
864 providers: [
865 microsoft: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Microsoft, [callback_params: []]}
866 ]
867
868 # Keycloak
869 # Note: make sure to add `keycloak:ueberauth_keycloak_strategy` entry to `OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES` environment variable
870 keycloak_url = "https://publicly-reachable-keycloak-instance.org:8080"
871
872 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Keycloak.OAuth,
873 client_id: System.get_env("KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID"),
874 client_secret: System.get_env("KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET"),
875 site: keycloak_url,
876 authorize_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/auth",
877 token_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token",
878 userinfo_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo",
879 token_method: :post
880
881 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
882 providers: [
883 keycloak: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Keycloak, [uid_field: :email]}
884 ]
885 ```
886
887 ### OAuth 2.0 provider - :oauth2
888
889 Configure OAuth 2 provider capabilities:
890
891 * `token_expires_in` - The lifetime in seconds of the access token.
892 * `issue_new_refresh_token` - Keeps old refresh token or generate new refresh token when to obtain an access token.
893 * `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)
894
895 ## Link parsing
896

911
912 Example:
913
914 ```elixir
915 config :auto_linker,
916 opts: [
917 scheme: true,
918 extra: true,
