Configuration Cheat Sheet

This is a cheat sheet for Pleroma configuration file, any setting possible to configure should be listed here.

For OTP installations the configuration is typically stored in /etc/pleroma/config.exs.

For from source installations Pleroma 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.

: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

:connections_pool

For gun adapter

Settings for HTTP connection pool.

:connection_acquisition_wait - Timeout to acquire a connection from pool.The total max time is this value multiplied by the number of retries.

:pools

For gun adapter

Settings for request pools. These pools are limited on top of :connections_pool.

There are four pools used:

:federation for the federation jobs. You may want this pool's max_connections to be at least equal to the number of federator jobs + retry queue jobs.
:media - for rich media, media proxy.
:upload - for proxying media when a remote uploader is used and proxy_remote: true.
:default - for other requests.

For each pool, the options are:

bucket_namespace: S3 bucket namespace.
truncated_namespace: If you use S3 compatible service such as Digital Ocean Spaces or CDN, set folder name or "" etc.
streaming_enabled: Enable streaming uploads, when enabled the file will be sent to the server in chunks as it's being read. This may be unsupported by some providers, try disabling this if you have upload problems.

Ex AWS S3 settings

access_key_id: Access key ID
secret_access_key: Secret access key
host: S3 host

Example:

config :ex_aws, :s3,
  access_key_id: "xxxxxxxxxx",
  secret_access_key: "yyyyyyyyyy",
  host: "s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com"

Upload filters

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. You can get the original filename extension by using {extension}, for example custom-file-name.{extension}.

Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Dedupe

No specific configuration.

Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Exiftool

This filter only strips the GPS and location metadata with Exiftool leaving color profiles and attributes intact.

No specific configuration.

Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Mogrify

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

Email

Pleroma.Emails.Mailer

adapter: one of the mail adapters listed in Swoosh readme, or Swoosh.Adapters.Local for in-memory mailbox.
api_key / password and / or other adapter-specific settings, per the above documentation.
enabled: Allows enable/disable send emails. Default: false.

An example for Sendgrid adapter:

config :pleroma, Pleroma.Emails.Mailer,
  enabled: true,
  adapter: Swoosh.Adapters.Sendgrid,
  api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY"

An example for SMTP adapter:

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

:email_notifications

Email notifications settings.

digest - emails of "what you've missed" for users who have been inactive for a while.
- active: globally enable or disable digest emails
- schedule: When to send digest email, in crontab format. "0 0 * * 0" is the default, meaning "once a week at midnight on Sunday morning"
- interval: Minimum interval between digest emails to one user
- inactivity_threshold: Minimum user inactivity threshold

Pleroma.Emails.UserEmail

:logo - a path to a custom logo. Set it to nil to use the default Pleroma logo.
:styling - a map with color settings for email templates.

Pleroma.Emails.NewUsersDigestEmail

:enabled - a boolean, enables new users admin digest email when true. Defaults to false.

Background jobs

Oban

Oban asynchronous job processor configuration.

Configuration options described in Oban readme:

repo - app's Ecto repo (Pleroma.Repo)
log - logs verbosity
queues - job queues (see below)
crontab - periodic jobs, see Oban.Cron

Pleroma has the following queues:

activity_expiration - Activity expiration
federator_outgoing - Outgoing federation
federator_incoming - Incoming federation
mailer - Email sender, see Pleroma.Emails.Mailer
transmogrifier - Transmogrifier
web_push - Web push notifications
scheduled_activities - Scheduled activities, see Pleroma.ScheduledActivity

Oban.Cron

Pleroma has these periodic job workers:

Pleroma.Workers.Cron.DigestEmailsWorker - digest emails for users with new mentions and follows
Pleroma.Workers.Cron.NewUsersDigestWorker - digest emails for admins with new registrations

config :pleroma, Oban,
  repo: Pleroma.Repo,
  verbose: false,
  prune: {:maxlen, 1500},
  queues: [
    federator_incoming: 50,
    federator_outgoing: 50
  ],
  crontab: [
    {"0 0 * * 0", Pleroma.Workers.Cron.DigestEmailsWorker},
    {"0 0 * * *", Pleroma.Workers.Cron.NewUsersDigestWorker}
  ]

This config contains two queues: federator_incoming and federator_outgoing. Both have the number of max concurrent jobs set to 50.

Migrating `pleroma_job_queue` settings

config :pleroma_job_queue, :queues is replaced by config :pleroma, Oban, :queues and uses the same format (keys are queues' names, values are max concurrent jobs numbers).

:workers

Includes custom worker options not interpretable directly by Oban.

retries — keyword lists where keys are Oban queues (see above) and values are numbers of max attempts for failed jobs.

Example:

config :pleroma, :workers,
  retries: [
    federator_incoming: 5,
    federator_outgoing: 5
  ]

Migrating `Pleroma.Web.Federator.RetryQueue` settings

max_retries is replaced with config :pleroma, :workers, retries: [federator_outgoing: 5]
enabled: false corresponds to config :pleroma, :workers, retries: [federator_outgoing: 1]
deprecated options: max_jobs, initial_timeout

:web_push_encryption, :vapid_details

Web Push Notifications configuration. You can use the mix task mix web_push.gen.keypair to generate it.

subject: a mailto link for the administrative contact. It’s best if this email is not a personal email address, but rather a group email so that if a person leaves an organization, is unavailable for an extended period, or otherwise can’t respond, someone else on the list can.
public_key: VAPID public key
private_key: VAPID private key

:logger

backends: :console is used to send logs to stdout, {ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger} to log to syslog, and Quack.Logger to log to Slack

An example to enable ONLY ExSyslogger (f/ex in prod.secret.exs) with info and debug suppressed:

config :logger,
  backends: [{ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}]

config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
  level: :warn

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

config :logger,
  backends: [:console, {ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}]

config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
  level: :warn,
  option: [:pid, :ndelay]

See: logger’s documentation and ex_syslogger’s documentation

An example of logging info to local syslog, but warn to a Slack channel:

config :logger,
  backends: [ {ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}, Quack.Logger ],
  level: :info

config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
  level: :info,
  ident: "pleroma",
  format: "$metadata[$level] $message"

config :quack,
  level: :warn,
  meta: [:all],
  webhook_url: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR-API-KEY-HERE"

See the Quack Github for more details

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 to false.

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.

Alternative client protocols

BBS / SSH access

To enable simple command line interface accessible over ssh, add a setting like this to your configuration file:

app_dir = File.cwd!
priv_dir = Path.join([app_dir, "priv/ssh_keys"])

config :esshd,
  enabled: true,
  priv_dir: priv_dir,
  handler: "Pleroma.BBS.Handler",
  port: 10_022,
  password_authenticator: "Pleroma.BBS.Authenticator"

Feel free to adjust the priv_dir and port number. Then you will have to create the key for the keys (in the example priv/ssh_keys) and create the host keys with ssh-keygen -m PEM -N "" -b 2048 -t rsa -f ssh_host_rsa_key. After restarting, you should be able to connect to your Pleroma instance with ssh username@server -p $PORT

:gopher

enabled: Enables the gopher interface
ip: IP address to bind to
port: Port to bind to
dstport: Port advertised in urls (optional, defaults to port)

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"

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's show.html which corresponds to lib/pleroma/web/templates/o_auth/o_auth/show.html.eex.
oauth_consumer_template: OAuth consumer mode authentication form template. By default it's consumer.html which corresponds to lib/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 by OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES environment variable. Each entry in this space-delimited string should be of format <strategy> or <strategy>:<dependency> (e.g. twitter or keycloak:ueberauth_keycloak_strategy in case dependency is named differently than ueberauth_<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 Pleroma 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 Pleroma instance then a new 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
sslopts: additional SSL options
tls: true to start TLS, usually implies the port 389
tlsopts: additional TLS options
base: 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 (Pleroma 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 to false.

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 proper Authorization header or access_token URI param) returns user info on requester (with acct field containing local nickname and fqn 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 Pleroma 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
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Facebook.OAuth,
  client_id: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_APP_ID"),
  client_secret: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET"),
  redirect_uri: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_REDIRECT_URI")

# Google
config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Google.OAuth,
  client_id: System.get_env("GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID"),
  client_secret: System.get_env("GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET"),
  redirect_uri: System.get_env("GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI")

# 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: []]}
  ]

# Keycloak
# Note: make sure to add `keycloak:ueberauth_keycloak_strategy` entry to `OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES` environment variable
keycloak_url = "https://publicly-reachable-keycloak-instance.org:8080"

config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Keycloak.OAuth,
  client_id: System.get_env("KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID"),
  client_secret: System.get_env("KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET"),
  site: keycloak_url,
  authorize_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/auth",
  token_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token",
  userinfo_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo",
  token_method: :post

config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
  providers: [
    keycloak: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Keycloak, [uid_field: :email]}
  ]

Link parsing

:uri_schemes

valid_schemes: List of the scheme part that is considered valid to be an URL.

Pleroma.Formatter

Configuration for Pleroma'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 - adds target="_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.g example.com will be validated, but http://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 configuration
- digits - 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.
backup_codes - a list containing backup codes configuration
- number - 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 timelines
- local: public timeline
- federated: federated timeline (includes public timeline)
profiles: user profiles
- local
- remote
activities: statuses
- local
- 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 to false.

:instances_favicons

Control favicons for instances.

enabled: Allow/disallow displaying and getting instances favicons

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 or nil to let Pleroma choose temporary directory in the following order:
1. the directory named by the TMPDIR environment variable
2. the directory named by the TEMP environment variable
3. the directory named by the TMP environment variable
4. C:\TMP on Windows or /tmp on Unix-like operating systems
5. as a last resort, the current working directory

Frontend management

Frontends in Pleroma are swappable - you can specify which one to use here.

You can set a frontends for the key primary and admin and the options of name and ref. This will then make Pleroma serve the frontend from a folder constructed by concatenating the instance static path, frontends and the name and ref.

The key primary refers to the frontend that will be served by default for general requests. The key admin refers to the frontend that will be served at the /pleroma/admin path.

If you don't set anything here, the bundled frontends will be used.

Example:

config :pleroma, :frontends,
  primary: %{
    "name" => "pleroma",
    "ref" => "stable"
  },
  admin: %{
    "name" => "admin",
    "ref" => "develop"
  }

This would serve the frontend from the the folder at $instance_static/frontends/pleroma/stable. You have to copy the frontend into this folder yourself. You can choose the name and ref any way you like, but they will be used by mix tasks to automate installation in the future, the name referring to the project and the ref referring to a commit.

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 activities
Pleroma.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
