## Transfer config from file to DB.
-```sh tab="OTP"
- ./bin/pleroma_ctl config migrate_to_db
-```
+!!! note
+ You need to add the following to your config before executing this command:
+
+ ```elixir
+ config :pleroma, configurable_from_database: true
+ ```
+
+=== "OTP"
-```sh tab="From Source"
-mix pleroma.config migrate_to_db
-```
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl config migrate_to_db
+ ```
+=== "From Source"
+
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.config migrate_to_db
+ ```
## Transfer config from DB to `config/env.exported_from_db.secret.exs`
-```sh tab="OTP"
- ./bin/pleroma_ctl config migrate_from_db <env>
-```
+!!! note
+ In-Database configuration will still be applied after executing this command unless you set the following in your config:
+
+ ```elixir
+ config :pleroma, configurable_from_database: false
+ ```
+
+To delete transfered settings from database optional flag `-d` can be used. `<env>` is `prod` by default.
-```sh tab="From Source"
