# Configuration Cheat Sheet

This is a cheat sheet for Pleroma configuration file, any setting possible to configure should be listed here.

For OTP installations the configuration is typically stored in `/etc/pleroma/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.

You can find the documentation for `pleroma_fe` configuration into [Pleroma-FE configuration and customization for instance administrators](/frontend/CONFIGURATION/#options).

Frontends can access these settings at `/api/pleroma/frontend_configurations`

To add your own configuration for PleromaFE, use it like this:

```elixir
config :pleroma, :frontend_configurations,
  pleroma_fe: %{
    theme: "pleroma-dark",
    # ... see /priv/static/static/config.json for the available keys.

* `http` - a list containing http protocol configuration, all configuration options can be viewed [here](https://hexdocs.pm/plug_cowboy/Plug.Cowboy.html#module-options), only common options are listed here. For deployment using docker, you need to set this to `[ip: {0,0,0,0}, port: 4000]` to make pleroma accessible from other containers (such as your nginx server).
  - `ip` - a tuple consisting of 4 integers
  - `port`
* `url` - a list containing the configuration for generating urls, accepts
  - `host` - the host without the scheme and a post (e.g `example.com`, not `https://example.com:2020`)

    If your instance is not behind at least one reverse proxy, you should not enable this plug.

`Pleroma.Plugs.RemoteIp` is a shim to call [`RemoteIp`](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/remote_ip) but with runtime configuration.

Available options:

* `enabled` - Enable/disable the plug. Defaults to `false`.

* `reserved` - Defaults to [localhost](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost) and [private network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network).


### :rate_limit

!!! note
   If your instance is behind a reverse proxy ensure [`Pleroma.Plugs.RemoteIp`](#pleroma-plugs-remoteip) is enabled (it is enabled by default).

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:

* The first element: `scale` (Integer). The time scale in milliseconds.
* The second element: `limit` (Integer). How many requests to limit in the time scale provided.

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.

For example:

```elixir
config :pleroma, :rate_limit,
  authentication: {60_000, 15},
  search: [{1000, 10}, {1000, 30}]
```

Means that:

1. In 60 seconds, 15 authentication attempts can be performed from the same IP address.
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.

Supported rate limiters:

* `:search` - Account/Status search.
* `:timeline` - Timeline requests (each timeline has it's own limiter).
* `:app_account_creation` - Account registration from the API.
* `:relations_actions` - Following/Unfollowing in general.
* `:relation_id_action` - Following/Unfollowing for a specific user.
* `:statuses_actions` - Status actions such as: (un)repeating, (un)favouriting, creating, deleting.

* `:authentication` - Authentication actions, i.e getting an OAuth token.
* `:password_reset` - Requesting password reset emails.
* `:account_confirmation_resend` - Requesting resending account confirmation emails.
* `:ap_routes` - Requesting statuses via ActivityPub.

### :web_cache_ttl

The expiration time for the web responses cache. Values should be in milliseconds or `nil` to disable expiration.

Available caches:

* `:activity_pub` - activity pub routes (except question activities). Defaults to `nil` (no expiration).
* `:activity_pub_question` - activity pub routes (question activities). Defaults to `30_000` (30 seconds).

## HTTP client

* `adapter`: array of adapter options

### :hackney_pools

Advanced. Tweaks Hackney (http client) connections pools.

There's three 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`)

For each pool, the options are:

* `max_connections` - how much connections a pool can hold
* `timeout` - retention duration for connections


### :connections_pool

*For `gun` adapter*

Advanced settings for connections pool. Pool with opened connections. These connections can be reused in worker pools.

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.

* `:checkin_timeout` - timeout to checkin connection from pool. Default: 250ms.
* `:max_connections` - maximum number of connections in the pool. Default: 250 connections.
* `:retry` - number of retries, while `gun` will try to reconnect if connection goes down. Default: 1.
* `:retry_timeout` - time between retries when `gun` will try to reconnect in milliseconds. Default: 1000ms.
* `:await_up_timeout` - timeout while `gun` will wait until connection is up. Default: 5000ms.

### :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`)
* `:default` for other requests

For each pool, the options are:

* `:size` - how much workers the pool can hold
* `:timeout` - timeout while `gun` will wait for response
* `:max_overflow` - additional workers if pool is under load

#### Pleroma.Upload.Filter.AnonymizeFilename

This filter replaces the filename (not the path) of an upload. For complete obfuscation, add
`Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Dedupe` before AnonymizeFilename.

* `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}`.

## Email

### Pleroma.Emails.Mailer
* `adapter`: one of the mail adapters listed in [Swoosh readme](https://github.com/swoosh/swoosh#adapters), or `Swoosh.Adapters.Local` for in-memory mailbox.
* `api_key` / `password` and / or other adapter-specific settings, per the above documentation.
* `enabled`: Allows enable/disable send  emails. Default: `false`.

An example for Sendgrid adapter:

```elixir
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Emails.Mailer,
  enabled: true,
  adapter: Swoosh.Adapters.Sendgrid,
  api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY"
```

An example for SMTP adapter:

```elixir
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Emails.Mailer,
  enabled: true,
  adapter: Swoosh.Adapters.SMTP,
  relay: "smtp.gmail.com",
  username: "YOUR_USERNAME@gmail.com",
  password: "YOUR_SMTP_PASSWORD",
  port: 465,
  ssl: true,
  auth: :always
```

### :email_notifications

Email notifications settings.

  - digest - emails of "what you've missed" for users who have been
    inactive for a while.
    - active: globally enable or disable digest emails
    - schedule: When to send digest email, in [crontab format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron).
      "0 0 * * 0" is the default, meaning "once a week at midnight on Sunday morning"
    - interval: Minimum interval between digest emails to one user
    - inactivity_threshold: Minimum user inactivity threshold

### Pleroma.Emails.UserEmail

- `:logo` - a path to a custom logo. Set it to `nil` to use the default Pleroma logo.
- `:styling` - a map with color settings for email templates.

### Pleroma.Emails.NewUsersDigestEmail

- `:enabled` - a boolean, enables new users admin digest email when `true`. Defaults to `false`.

## Background jobs

### Oban

[Oban](https://github.com/sorentwo/oban) asynchronous job processor configuration.

Configuration options described in [Oban readme](https://github.com/sorentwo/oban#usage):

* `repo` - app's Ecto repo (`Pleroma.Repo`)
* `verbose` - logs verbosity
* `prune` - non-retryable jobs [pruning settings](https://github.com/sorentwo/oban#pruning) (`:disabled` / `{:maxlen, value}` / `{:maxage, value}`)
* `queues` - job queues (see below)
* `crontab` - periodic jobs, see [`Oban.Cron`](#obancron)

Pleroma has the following queues:

* `activity_expiration` - Activity expiration
* `federator_outgoing` - Outgoing federation
* `federator_incoming` - Incoming federation
* `mailer` - Email sender, see [`Pleroma.Emails.Mailer`](#pleromaemailsmailer)
* `transmogrifier` - Transmogrifier
* `web_push` - Web push notifications
* `scheduled_activities` - Scheduled activities, see [`Pleroma.ScheduledActivity`](#pleromascheduledactivity)

#### Oban.Cron

Pleroma has these periodic job workers:

`Pleroma.Workers.Cron.ClearOauthTokenWorker` - a job worker to cleanup expired oauth tokens.

Example:

```elixir
config :pleroma, Oban,
  repo: Pleroma.Repo,
  verbose: false,
  prune: {:maxlen, 1500},
  queues: [
    federator_incoming: 50,
    federator_outgoing: 50
  ],
  crontab: [
    {"0 0 * * *", Pleroma.Workers.Cron.ClearOauthTokenWorker}
  ]
```

This config contains two queues: `federator_incoming` and `federator_outgoing`. Both have the number of max concurrent jobs set to `50`.

#### Migrating `pleroma_job_queue` settings

`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).

### :workers

Includes custom worker options not interpretable directly by `Oban`.

* `retries` — keyword lists where keys are `Oban` queues (see above) and values are numbers of max attempts for failed jobs.

Example:

```elixir
config :pleroma, :workers,
  retries: [
    federator_incoming: 5,
    federator_outgoing: 5
  ]
```

#### Migrating `Pleroma.Web.Federator.RetryQueue` settings

* `max_retries` is replaced with `config :pleroma, :workers, retries: [federator_outgoing: 5]`
* `enabled: false` corresponds to `config :pleroma, :workers, retries: [federator_outgoing: 1]`
* deprecated options: `max_jobs`, `initial_timeout`

## :web_push_encryption, :vapid_details

Web Push Notifications configuration. You can use the mix task `mix web_push.gen.keypair` to generate it.

* ``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.
* ``public_key``: VAPID public key
* ``private_key``: VAPID private key

## :logger
* `backends`: `:console` is used to send logs to stdout, `{ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}` to log to syslog, and `Quack.Logger` to log to Slack

An example to enable ONLY ExSyslogger (f/ex in ``prod.secret.exs``) with info and debug suppressed:
```elixir
config :logger,
  backends: [{ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}]

config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
  level: :warn
```

Another example, keeping console output and adding the pid to syslog output:
```elixir
config :logger,
  backends: [:console, {ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}]

config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
  level: :warn,
  option: [:pid, :ndelay]
```

See: [logger’s documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/logger/Logger.html) and [ex_syslogger’s documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/ex_syslogger/)

An example of logging info to local syslog, but warn to a Slack channel:
```elixir
config :logger,
  backends: [ {ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}, Quack.Logger ],
  level: :info

config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
  level: :info,
  ident: "pleroma",
  format: "$metadata[$level] $message"

config :quack,
  level: :warn,
  meta: [:all],
  webhook_url: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR-API-KEY-HERE"
```

See the [Quack Github](https://github.com/azohra/quack) for more details



## Database options

### RUM indexing for full text search

!!! warning
    It is recommended to use PostgreSQL v11 or newer. We have seen some minor issues with lower PostgreSQL versions.

* `rum_enabled`: If RUM indexes should be used. Defaults to `false`.

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.

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.

To enable them, both the `rum_enabled` flag has to be set and the following special migration has to be run:

`mix ecto.migrate --migrations-path priv/repo/optional_migrations/rum_indexing/`

This will probably take a long time.

## Alternative client protocols

### BBS / SSH access

To enable simple command line interface accessible over ssh, add a setting like this to your configuration file:

```exs
app_dir = File.cwd!
priv_dir = Path.join([app_dir, "priv/ssh_keys"])

config :esshd,
  enabled: true,
  priv_dir: priv_dir,
  handler: "Pleroma.BBS.Handler",
  port: 10_022,
  password_authenticator: "Pleroma.BBS.Authenticator"
```

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`

### :gopher
* `enabled`: Enables the gopher interface
* `ip`: IP address to bind to
* `port`: Port to bind to
* `dstport`: Port advertised in urls (optional, defaults to `port`)


## Authentication

### :admin_token

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:

```elixir
config :pleroma, :admin_token, "somerandomtoken"
```

You can then do

```shell
curl "http://localhost:4000/api/pleroma/admin/users/invites?admin_token=somerandomtoken"
```

or

```shell
curl -H "X-Admin-Token: somerandomtoken" "http://localhost:4000/api/pleroma/admin/users/invites"
```

### :auth

* `Pleroma.Web.Auth.PleromaAuthenticator`: default database authenticator.
* `Pleroma.Web.Auth.LDAPAuthenticator`: LDAP authentication.

Authentication / authorization settings.

* `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`.
* `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`.
* `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>`).

### Pleroma.Web.Auth.Authenticator

* `Pleroma.Web.Auth.PleromaAuthenticator`: default database authenticator.
* `Pleroma.Web.Auth.LDAPAuthenticator`: LDAP authentication.

### :ldap

Use LDAP for user authentication.  When a user logs in to the Pleroma
instance, the name and password will be verified by trying to authenticate
(bind) to an LDAP server.  If a user exists in the LDAP directory but there
is no account with the same name yet on the Pleroma instance then a new
Pleroma account will be created with the same name as the LDAP user name.

* `enabled`: enables LDAP authentication
* `host`: LDAP server hostname
* `port`: LDAP port, e.g. 389 or 636
* `ssl`: true to use SSL, usually implies the port 636
* `sslopts`: additional SSL options
* `tls`: true to start TLS, usually implies the port 389
* `tlsopts`: additional TLS options
* `base`: LDAP base, e.g. "dc=example,dc=com"
* `uid`: LDAP attribute name to authenticate the user, e.g. when "cn", the filter will be "cn=username,base"

### OAuth consumer mode

OAuth consumer mode allows sign in / sign up via external OAuth providers (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc.).
Implementation is based on Ueberauth; see the list of [available strategies](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth/wiki/List-of-Strategies).

!!! note
    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.

!!! note
    Each strategy requires separate setup (on external provider side and Pleroma side). Below are the guidelines on setting up most popular strategies.

!!! note
    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"`

* For Twitter, [register an app](https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/twitter/callback

* 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/

* For Google, [register an app](https://console.developers.google.com), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/google/callback

* For Microsoft, [register an app](https://portal.azure.com), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/microsoft/callback

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`,
per strategy's documentation (e.g. [ueberauth_twitter](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth_twitter)). Example config basing on environment variables:

```elixir
# Twitter
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Twitter.OAuth,
  consumer_key: System.get_env("TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY"),
  consumer_secret: System.get_env("TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET")

# Facebook
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Facebook.OAuth,
  client_id: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_APP_ID"),
  client_secret: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET"),
  redirect_uri: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_REDIRECT_URI")

# Google
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Google.OAuth,
  client_id: System.get_env("GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID"),
  client_secret: System.get_env("GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET"),
  redirect_uri: System.get_env("GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI")

# Microsoft
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Microsoft.OAuth,
  client_id: System.get_env("MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID"),
  client_secret: System.get_env("MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET")

config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
  providers: [
    microsoft: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Microsoft, [callback_params: []]}
  ]

# Keycloak
# Note: make sure to add `keycloak:ueberauth_keycloak_strategy` entry to `OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES` environment variable
keycloak_url = "https://publicly-reachable-keycloak-instance.org:8080"

config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Keycloak.OAuth,
  client_id: System.get_env("KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID"),
  client_secret: System.get_env("KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET"),
  site: keycloak_url,
  authorize_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/auth",
  token_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token",
  userinfo_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo",
  token_method: :post

config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
  providers: [
    keycloak: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Keycloak, [uid_field: :email]}
  ]
```

### OAuth 2.0 provider - :oauth2

Configure OAuth 2 provider capabilities:

* `token_expires_in` - The lifetime in seconds of the access token.
* `issue_new_refresh_token` - Keeps old refresh token or generate new refresh token when to obtain an access token.
* `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)

## Link parsing

### :uri_schemes
* `valid_schemes`: List of the scheme part that is considered valid to be an URL.

### :auto_linker

Configuration for the `auto_linker` library:

* `class: "auto-linker"` - specify the class to be added to the generated link. false to clear.
* `rel: "noopener noreferrer"` - override the rel attribute. false to clear.
* `new_window: true` - set to false to remove `target='_blank'` attribute.
* `scheme: false` - Set to true to link urls with schema `http://google.com`.
* `truncate: false` - Set to a number to truncate urls longer then the number. Truncated urls will end in `..`.
* `strip_prefix: true` - Strip the scheme prefix.
* `extra: false` - link urls with rarely used schemes (magnet, ipfs, irc, etc.).

Example:

```elixir
config :auto_linker,
  opts: [
    scheme: true,
    extra: true,
    class: false,
    strip_prefix: false,
    new_window: false,
    rel: "ugc"
  ]
```

## Custom Runtime Modules (`:modules`)

* `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 federate), user profiles and statuses.

* `timelines` - public and federated timelines
  * `local` - public timeline
  * `federated`
* `profiles` - user profiles
  * `local`
  * `remote`
* `activities` - statuses
  * `local`
