## 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 transferred settings from database optional flag `-d` can be used. `<env>` is `prod` by default.
+
+=== "OTP"
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl config migrate_from_db [--env=<env>] [-d]
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.config migrate_from_db [--env=<env>] [-d]
+ ```
+
+## Dump all of the config settings defined in the database
+
+=== "OTP"
+
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl config dump
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.config dump
+ ```
+
+## List individual configuration groups in the database
+
+=== "OTP"
+
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl config groups
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.config groups
+ ```
+
+## Dump the saved configuration values for a specific group or key
+
+e.g., this shows all the settings under `config :pleroma`
+
+=== "OTP"
+
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl config dump pleroma
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.config dump pleroma
+ ```
+
+To get values under a specific key:
+
+e.g., this shows all the settings under `config :pleroma, :instance`
+
+=== "OTP"
+
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl config dump pleroma instance
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.config dump pleroma instance
+ ```
+
+## Delete the saved configuration values for a specific group or key
+
+e.g., this deletes all the settings under `config :tesla`
+
+=== "OTP"
+
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl config delete [--force] tesla
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.config delete [--force] tesla
+ ```
+
+To delete values under a specific key:
+
+e.g., this deletes all the settings under `config :phoenix, :stacktrace_depth`
+
+=== "OTP"
+
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl config delete [--force] phoenix stacktrace_depth
+ ```
+
+=== "From Source"
+
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.config delete [--force] phoenix stacktrace_depth
+ ```
+
+## Remove all settings from the database
+
+This forcibly removes all saved values in the database.
+
+=== "OTP"
+
+ ```sh
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl config [--force] reset
+ ```
-```sh tab="From Source"
-mix pleroma.config migrate_from_db <env>
-```
+=== "From Source"
+ ```sh
+ mix pleroma.config [--force] reset
+ ```
