Configuration Cheat Sheet
This is a cheat sheet for Akkoma configuration file, any setting possible to configure should be listed here.
For OTP installations the configuration is typically stored in /etc/akkoma/config.exs
.
For from source installations Akkoma 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. You can also use this file if you don't know how an option is supposed to be formatted.

:rate_limit
!!! note
If your instance is behind a reverse proxy ensure Pleroma.Web.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:
config :pleroma, :rate_limit,
authentication: {60_000, 15},
search: [{1000, 10}, {1000, 30}]
Means that:
- In 60 seconds, 15 authentication attempts can be performed from the same IP address.
- 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:

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 tofalse
.
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.
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:
config :pleroma, :admin_token, "somerandomtoken"
You can then do
curl "http://localhost:4000/api/v1/pleroma/admin/users/invites?admin_token=somerandomtoken"
or
curl -H "X-Admin-Token: somerandomtoken" "http://localhost:4000/api/v1/pleroma/admin/users/invites"
Warning: it's discouraged to use this feature because of the associated security risk: static / rarely changed instance-wide token is much weaker compared to email-password pair of a real admin user; consider using HTTP Basic Auth or OAuth-based authentication instead.
:auth
Authentication / authorization settings.
auth_template
: authentication form template. By default it'sshow.html
which corresponds tolib/pleroma/web/templates/o_auth/o_auth/show.html.eex
.oauth_consumer_template
: OAuth consumer mode authentication form template. By default it'sconsumer.html
which corresponds tolib/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 byOAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES
environment variable. Each entry in this space-delimited string should be of format<strategy>
or<strategy>:<dependency>
(e.g.twitter
orkeycloak:ueberauth_keycloak_strategy
in case dependency is named differently thanueberauth_<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 Akkoma 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 Akkoma instance then a new Akkoma account will be created with the same name as the LDAP user name.
enabled
: enables LDAP authenticationhost
: LDAP server hostnameport
: LDAP port, e.g. 389 or 636ssl
: true to use SSL, usually implies the port 636sslopts
: additional SSL optionstls
: true to start TLS, usually implies the port 389tlsopts
: additional TLS optionsbase
: 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"
Note, if your LDAP server is an Active Directory server the correct value is commonly uid: "cn"
, but if you use an
OpenLDAP server the value may be uid: "uid"
.
:oauth2 (Akkoma as OAuth 2.0 provider settings)
OAuth 2.0 provider settings:
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 tofalse
.
OAuth 2.0 provider and related endpoints:
POST /api/v1/apps
creates client app basing on provided params.GET/POST /oauth/authorize
renders/submits authorization form.POST /oauth/token
creates/renews OAuth token.POST /oauth/revoke
revokes provided OAuth token.GET /api/v1/accounts/verify_credentials
(with properAuthorization
header oraccess_token
URI param) returns user info on requester (withacct
field containing local nickname andfqn
field containing fully-qualified nickname which could generally be used as email stub for OAuth software that demands email field in identity endpoint response, like Peertube).
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.
!!! 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 Akkoma 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, configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/twitter/callback
-
For Facebook, register an app, 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, configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/google/callback
-
For Microsoft, register an app, 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). Example config basing on environment variables:
# Twitter
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Twitter.OAuth,
consumer_key: System.get_env("TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY"),
consumer_secret: System.get_env("TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET")
# Facebook

# 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: []]}

Link parsing
:uri_schemes
valid_schemes
: List of the scheme part that is considered valid to be an URL.
Pleroma.Formatter
Configuration for Akkoma's link formatter which parses mentions, hashtags, and URLs.
class
- specify the class to be added to the generated link (default:false
)rel
- specify the rel attribute (default:ugc
)new_window
- addstarget="_blank"
attribute (default:false
)truncate
- Set to a number to truncate URLs longer then the number. Truncated URLs will end in...
(default:false
)strip_prefix
- Strip the scheme prefix (default:false
)extra
- link URLs with rarely used schemes (magnet, ipfs, irc, etc.) (default:true
)validate_tld
- Set to false to disable TLD validation for URLs/emails. Can be set to :no_scheme to validate TLDs only for urls without a scheme (e.gexample.com
will be validated, buthttp://example.loki
won't) (default::no_scheme
)
Example:
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Formatter,
class: false,
rel: "ugc",
new_window: false,
truncate: false,
strip_prefix: false,
extra: true,
validate_tld: :no_scheme
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 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:
config :pleroma, :database_config_whitelist, [
{:pleroma, :instance},
{:pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Metadata},
{:auto_linker}
]
Multi-factor authentication - :two_factor_authentication
totp
- a list containing TOTP configurationdigits
- 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.

- a list containing backup codes configurationnumber
- 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 federated), user profiles and statuses.
timelines
: public and federated timelineslocal
: public timelinefederated
: federated timeline (includes public timeline)
profiles
: user profileslocal
remote
activities
: statuseslocal
remote
Note: when :instance, :public
is set to false
, all :restrict_unauthenticated
items be effectively set to true
by default. If you'd like to allow unauthenticated access to specific API endpoints on a private instance, please explicitly set :restrict_unauthenticated
to non-default value in config/prod.secret.exs
.
Note: setting restrict_unauthenticated/timelines/local
to true
has no practical sense if restrict_unauthenticated/timelines/federated
is set to false
(since local public activities will still be delivered to unauthenticated users as part of federated timeline).
Pleroma.Web.ApiSpec.CastAndValidate
:strict
a boolean, enables strict input validation (useful in development, not recommended in production). Defaults tofalse
.
:instances_favicons
Control favicons for instances.
enabled

Pleroma.User.Backup
!!! note Requires enabled email
:purge_after_days
an integer, remove backup achives after N days.:limit_days
an integer, limit user to export not more often than once per N days.:dir
a string with a path to backup temporary directory ornil
to let Akkoma choose temporary directory in the following order:- the directory named by the TMPDIR environment variable
- the directory named by the TEMP environment variable
- the directory named by the TMP environment variable
- C:\TMP on Windows or /tmp on Unix-like operating systems
- as a last resort, the current working directory
Theme settings
Settings to change theme as exposed to the outside world, for software
that scans index.html
(mainly misskey)
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Metadata.Providers.Theme, theme_color: "#593196"
This sets the theme-color
meta tag on index.html
, and is basically
a hack to make misskey find the right thing.
Ephemeral activities (Pleroma.Workers.PurgeExpiredActivity)
Settings to enable and configure expiration for ephemeral activities
:enabled
- enables ephemeral activities creation:min_lifetime
- minimum lifetime for ephemeral activities (in seconds). Default: 10 minutes.
ConcurrentLimiter
Settings to restrict concurrently running jobs. Jobs which can be configured:
Pleroma.Web.RichMedia.Helpers
- generating link previews of URLs in activitiesPleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.MediaProxyWarmingPolicy
- warming remote media cache via MediaProxyWarmingPolicy
Each job has these settings:
:max_running
- max concurrently runnings jobs:max_waiting
- max waiting jobs
