All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
## [unreleased]
### Changed
+- **Breaking:** The default descriptions on uploads are now empty. The old behavior (filename as default) can be configured, see the cheat sheet.
- **Breaking:** Added the ObjectAgePolicy to the default set of MRFs. This will delist and strip the follower collection of any message received that is older than 7 days. This will stop users from seeing very old messages in the timelines. The messages can still be viewed on the user's page and in conversations. They also still trigger notifications.
- **Breaking:** Elixir >=1.9 is now required (was >= 1.8)
- **Breaking:** Configuration: `:auto_linker, :opts` moved to `:pleroma, Pleroma.Formatter`. Old config namespace is deprecated.
- In Conversations, return only direct messages as `last_status`
- Using the `only_media` filter on timelines will now exclude reblog media
- MFR policy to set global expiration for all local Create activities
- OGP rich media parser merged with TwitterCard
- Configuration: `:instance, rewrite_policy` moved to `:mrf, policies`, `:instance, :mrf_transparency` moved to `:mrf, :transparency`, `:instance, :mrf_transparency_exclusions` moved to `:mrf, :transparency_exclusions`. Old config namespace is deprecated.
- Configuration: `:media_proxy, whitelist` format changed to host with scheme (e.g. `http://example.com` instead of `example.com`). Domain format is deprecated.
- **Breaking:** Configuration: `:instance, welcome_user_nickname` moved to `:welcome, :direct_message, :sender_nickname`, `:instance, :welcome_message` moved to `:welcome, :direct_message, :message`. Old config namespace is deprecated.
- **Breaking:** LDAP: Fallback to local database authentication has been removed for security reasons and lack of a mechanism to ensure the passwords are synchronized when LDAP passwords are updated.
- **Breaking** Changed defaults for `:restrict_unauthenticated` so that when `:instance, :public` is set to `false` then all `:restrict_unauthenticated` items be effectively set to `true`. 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`.

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](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/blob/develop/config/config.exs). You can also use this file if you don't know how an option is supposed to be formatted.

* `reserved` - Defaults to [localhost](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost) and [private network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network).
### :rate_limit
!!! note
If your instance is behind a reverse proxy ensure [`Pleroma.Plugs.RemoteIp`](#pleroma-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:
```elixir
config :pleroma, :rate_limit,
authentication: {60_000, 15},
search: [{1000, 10}, {1000, 30}]
```
Means that:
1. In 60 seconds, 15 authentication attempts can be performed from the same IP address.
2. 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:
* `:search` - Account/Status search.
* `:timeline` - Timeline requests (each timeline has it's own limiter).
* `:app_account_creation` - Account registration from the API.
* `:relations_actions` - Following/Unfollowing in general.
* `:relation_id_action` - Following/Unfollowing for a specific user.
* `:statuses_actions` - Status actions such as: (un)repeating, (un)favouriting, creating, deleting.
* `:status_id_action` - (un)Repeating/(un)Favouriting a particular status.
* `:authentication` - Authentication actions, i.e getting an OAuth token.
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
### :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.
* `connection_acquisition_retries` - Number of attempts to acquire the connection from the pool if it is overloaded. Each attempt is timed `:connection_acquisition_wait` apart.
* `:max_connections` - Maximum number of connections in the pool.
* `:await_up_timeout` - Timeout to connect to the host.
* `:reclaim_multiplier` - Multiplied by `:max_connections` this will be the maximum number of idle connections that will be reclaimed in case the pool is overloaded.
### :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:
* `:size` - limit to how much requests can be concurrently executed.
* `:timeout` - timeout while `gun` will wait for response
* `:max_waiting` - limit to how much requests can be waiting for others to finish, after this is reached, subsequent requests will be dropped.
## Captcha
### Pleroma.Captcha
* `enabled`: Whether the captcha should be shown on registration.
* `method`: The method/service to use for captcha.
* `seconds_valid`: The time in seconds for which the captcha is valid.
### Captcha providers
#### Pleroma.Captcha.Native
A built-in captcha provider. Enabled by default.
#### Pleroma.Captcha.Kocaptcha
Kocaptcha is a very simple captcha service with a single API endpoint,
the source code is here: [kocaptcha](https://github.com/koto-bank/kocaptcha). The default endpoint
`https://captcha.kotobank.ch` is hosted by the developer.
* `endpoint`: the Kocaptcha endpoint to use.
## Uploads
### Pleroma.Upload
* `uploader`: Which one of the [uploaders](#uploaders) to use.
* `filters`: List of [upload filters](#upload-filters) 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.
* `filename_display_max_length`: Set max length of a filename to display. 0 = no limit. Default: 30.
+* `default_description`: Sets which default description an image has if none is set explicitly. Options: nil (default) - Don't set a default, :filename - use the filename of the file, a string (e.g. "attachment") - Use this string
!!! warning
`strip_exif` has been replaced by `Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Mogrify`.
### Uploaders
#### Pleroma.Uploaders.Local
* `uploads`: Which directory to store the user-uploads in, relative to pleroma’s working directory.
#### Pleroma.Uploaders.S3
Don't forget to configure [Ex AWS S3](#ex-aws-s3-settings)
* `bucket`: S3 bucket name.
* `bucket_namespace`: S3 bucket namespace.
* `public_endpoint`: S3 endpoint that the user finally accesses(ex. "https://s3.dualstack.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com")
* `truncated_namespace`: If you use S3 compatible service such as Digital Ocean Spaces or CDN, set folder name or "" etc.
For example, when using CDN to S3 virtual host format, set "".
At this time, write CNAME to CDN in public_endpoint.
* `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:
```elixir
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](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.
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.
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:
```elixir
config :logger,
backends: [{ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}]
config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
level: :warn
```
Another example, keeping console output and adding the pid to syslog output:
See the [Quack Github](https://github.com/azohra/quack) 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:
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:
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>`).
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"`.
### 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](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth/wiki/List-of-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](https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/twitter/callback
* For Facebook, [register an app](https://developers.facebook.com/apps), 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](https://console.developers.google.com), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/google/callback
* For Microsoft, [register an app](https://portal.azure.com), 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](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth_twitter)). Example config basing on environment variables:
* `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`. Interval settings sets in configuration periodic jobs [`Oban.Cron`](#obancron)
## 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`)
* `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:
```elixir
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](../administration/CLI_tasks/config.md) 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
- `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
## Frontend management
Frontends in Pleroma are swappable - you can specify which one to use here.
For now, you can set a frontend with the key `primary` 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. In the future, other frontends like the admin frontend will also be configurable here.
If you don't set anything here, the bundled frontend will be used.
Example:
```
config :pleroma, :frontends,
primary: %{
"name" => "pleroma",
"ref" => "stable"
}
```
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.
