# Configuring instance
|
|
You can configure your instance from admin interface. You need account with admin rights and little change in config file, which will allow settings configuration from database.
|
|
|
|
```elixir
|
|
config :pleroma, configurable_from_database: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
Settings are stored in database and are applied in `runtime` after each change. Most of the settings take effect immediately, except some, which need instance reboot. These settings are needed in `compile time`, that's why settings are duplicated to the file.
|
|
|
|
File with duplicated settings is located in `config/{env}.exported_from_db.exs`. For prod env it will be `config/prod.exported_from_db.exs`.
|
|
|
|
## How to set it up
|
|
You need to migrate your existing settings to the database. You can do this with mix task (all config files will remain untouched):
|
|
```bash
|
|
mix pleroma.config migrate_to_db
|
|
```
|
|
Now you can change settings in admin interface. After each save, settings are duplicated to the `config/{env}.exported_from_db.exs` file.

**<span style="color:red">Be careful while changing the settings. Every inaccurate configuration change can break the federation or the instance load.</span>**
|
|
|
|
*Compile time settings, which require instance reboot and can break instance loading:*
|
|
- all settings inside these keys:
|
|
- `:hackney_pools`
|
|
- `:chat`
|
|
- `Pleroma.Web.Endpoint`
|
|
- partially settings inside these keys:
|
|
- `:seconds_valid` in `Pleroma.Captcha`
|
|
- `:proxy_remote` in `Pleroma.Upload`
|
|
- `:upload_limit` in `:instance`
|
|
|
|
## How to remove it
|
|
|
|
1. Truncate or delete all values from `config` table
|
|
```sql
|
|
TRUNCATE TABLE config;
|
|
```
|
|
2. Delete `config/{env}.exported_from_db.exs`.
|
|
|
|
For `prod` env:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /opt/pleroma
|
|
cp config/prod.exported_from_db.exs config/exported_from_db.back
|
|
rm -rf config/prod.exported_from_db.exs
|
|
```
|
|
*If you don't want to backup settings, you can skip step with `cp` command.*
|
|
|
|
3. Set configurable_from_database to `false`.
|
|
```elixir
|
|
config :pleroma, configurable_from_database: false
|
|
```
|
|
4. Restart pleroma instance
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo service pleroma restart
|
|
```
