pleroma/docs/config.md

# Configuration

This file describe the configuration, it is recommended to edit the relevant *.secret.exs file instead of the others founds in the ``config`` directory.
If you run Pleroma with ``MIX_ENV=prod`` the file is ``prod.secret.exs``, otherwise it is ``dev.secret.exs``.

## Pleroma.Upload
* `uploader`: Select which `Pleroma.Uploaders` to use
* `filters`: List of `Pleroma.Upload.Filter` to use.
* `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`
* `base_url`: The base URL to access a user-uploaded file. Useful when you want to proxy the media files via another host.
* `proxy_remote`: If you\'re using a remote uploader, Pleroma will proxy media requests instead of redirecting to it.
* `proxy_opts`: Proxy options, see `Pleroma.ReverseProxy` documentation.

Note: `strip_exif` has been replaced by `Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Mogrify`.

## Pleroma.Uploaders.Local
* `uploads`: Which directory to store the user-uploads in, relative to pleroma’s working directory

## Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Mogrify

* `args`: List of actions for the `mogrify` command like `"strip"` or `["strip", "auto-orient", {"impode", "1"}]`.

## Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Dedupe

No specific configuration.

## 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.

## Pleroma.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.

An example for Sendgrid adapter:

```exs
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Mailer,
  adapter: Swoosh.Adapters.Sendgrid,
  api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY"
```

An example for SMTP adapter:

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

Another example, keeping console output and adding the pid to syslog output:

  level: :warn,
  option: [:pid, :ndelay]
```

**Important note**: if you modify anything inside these lists, default `config.exs` values will be overwritten, which may result in breakage, to make sure this does not happen please copy the default value for the list from `config.exs` and modify/add only what you need

Example: 
```elixir
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Endpoint,
  url: [host: "example.com", port: 2020, scheme: "https"],
  http: [
    # start copied from config.exs
    dispatch: [
      {:_,
       [
         {"/api/v1/streaming", Pleroma.Web.MastodonAPI.WebsocketHandler, []},
         {"/websocket", Phoenix.Endpoint.CowboyWebSocket,
          {Phoenix.Transports.WebSocket,
           {Pleroma.Web.Endpoint, Pleroma.Web.UserSocket, websocket_config}}},
         {:_, Phoenix.Endpoint.Cowboy2Handler, {Pleroma.Web.Endpoint, []}}
       ]}
    # end copied from config.exs
    ],
    port: 8080,
    ip: {127, 0, 0, 1}

Example:

```elixir
config :pleroma_job_queue, :queues,
  federator_incoming: 50,
  federator_outgoing: 50
```

This config contains two queues: `federator_incoming` and `federator_outgoing`. Both have the `max_jobs` set to `50`.

## Pleroma.Web.Federator.RetryQueue

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

## :auto_linker

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
