Instance configuration ====================== General configuration is achieved using two type of settings. Environment variables --------------------- Those are located in your ``.env`` file, which you should have created during installation. Options from this file are heavily commented, and usually target lower level and technical aspects of your instance, such as database credentials. .. note:: You should restart all funwhale processes when you change the values on environment variables. .. _instance-settings: Instance settings ----------------- Those settings are stored in database and do not require a restart of your instance after modification. They typically relate to higher level configuration, such your instance description, signup policy and so on. You can edit those settings directly from the web application, assuming you have the required permissions. The URL is ``/manage/settings``, and you will also find a link to this page in the sidebar. If you plan to use acoustid and external imports (e.g. with the youtube backends), you should edit the corresponding settings in this interface. .. note:: If you have any issue with the web application, a management interface is also available for those settings from Django's administration interface. It's less user friendly, though, and we recommend you use the web app interface whenever possible. The URL should be ``/api/admin/dynamic_preferences/globalpreferencemodel/`` (prepend your domain in front of it, of course). Configuration reference ----------------------- .. _setting-EMAIL_CONFIG: ``EMAIL_CONFIG`` ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Determine how emails are sent. Default: ``consolemail://`` Possible values: - ``consolemail://``: Output sent emails to stdout - ``dummymail://``: Completely discard sent emails - ``smtp://user:password@youremail.host:25``: Send emails via SMTP via youremail.host on port 25, without encryption, authenticating as user "user" with password "password" - ``smtp+ssl://user:password@youremail.host:465``: Send emails via SMTP via youremail.host on port 465, using SSL encryption, authenticating as user "user" with password "password" - ``smtp+tls://user:password@youremail.host:587``: Send emails via SMTP via youremail.host on port 587, using TLS encryption, authenticating as user "user" with password "password" .. _setting-DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL: ``DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL`` ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The email address to use to send email. Default: ``Funkwhale `` .. note:: Both the forms ``Funkwhale `` and ``noreply@yourdomain`` work. .. _setting-MUSIC_DIRECTORY_PATH: ``MUSIC_DIRECTORY_PATH`` ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Default: ``None`` The path on your server where Funwkhale can import files using :ref:`in-place import `. It must be readable by the webserver and Funkwhale api and worker processes. On docker installations, we recommend you use the default of ``/music`` for this value. For non-docker installation, you can use any absolute path. ``/srv/funkwhale/data/music`` is a safe choice if you don't know what to use. .. note:: This path should not include any trailing slash .. warning:: You need to adapt your :ref:`reverse-proxy configuration` to serve the directory pointed by ``MUSIC_DIRECTORY_PATH`` on ``/_protected/music`` URL. .. _setting-MUSIC_DIRECTORY_SERVE_PATH: ``MUSIC_DIRECTORY_SERVE_PATH`` ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Default: :ref:`setting-MUSIC_DIRECTORY_PATH` When using Docker, the value of :ref:`MUSIC_DIRECTORY_PATH` in your containers may differ from the real path on your host. Assuming you have the following directive in your :file:`docker-compose.yml` file:: volumes: - /srv/funkwhale/data/music:/music:ro Then, the value of :ref:`setting-MUSIC_DIRECTORY_SERVE_PATH` should be ``/srv/funkwhale/data/music``. This must be readable by the webserver. On non-docker setup, you don't need to configure this setting. .. note:: This path should not include any trailing slash .. _setting-REVERSE_PROXY_TYPE: ``REVERSE_PROXY_TYPE`` ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Default: ``nginx`` The type of reverse-proxy behind which Funkwhale is served. Either ``apache2`` or ``nginx``. This is only used if you are using in-place import. User permissions ---------------- Funkwhale's permission model works as follows: - Anonymous users cannot do anything unless configured specifically - Logged-in users can use the application, but cannot do things that affect the whole instance - Superusers can do anything To make things more granular and allow some delegation of responsability, superusers can grant specific permissions to specific users. Available permissions are: - **Manage instance-level settings**: users with this permission can edit instance settings as described in :ref:`instance-settings` - **Manage library**: users with this permission can import new music in the instance - **Manage library federation**: users with this permission can ask to federate with other instances, and accept/deny federation requests from other intances There is no dedicated interface to manage users permissions, but superusers can login on the Django's admin at ``/api/admin/`` and grant permissions to users at ``/api/admin/users/user/``. Theming ------- Funkwhale supports custom themes, which are great if you want to personnalize the look and feel of your instance. Theming is achieved by declaring additionnal stylesheets you want to load in the front-end. Customize the settings ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ In order to know what stylesheets to load, the front-end requests the following url: ``https://your.instance/settings.json``. On typical deployments, this url returns a 404 error, which is simply ignored. However, if you return the appropriate payload on this url, you can make the magic work. We will store the necessary files in the ``/srv/funkwhale/custom`` directory: .. code-block:: shell cd /srv/funkwhale/ mkdir custom cat < custom/settings.json { "additionalStylesheets": ["/custom/custom.css"] } EOF cat < custom/custom.css body { background-color: red; } EOF By executing the previous commands, you will end up with two files in your ``/srv/funkwhale/custom`` directory: - ``settings.json`` will tell the front-end what stylesheets you want to load (``/custom/custom.css`` in this example) - ``custom.css`` will hold your custom CSS The last step to make this work is to ensure both files are served by the reverse proxy. On nginx, add the following snippet to your vhost config:: location /settings.json { alias /srv/funkwhale/custom/settings.json; } location /custom { alias /srv/funkwhale/custom; } On apache, use the following one:: Alias /settings.json /srv/funkwhale/custom/settings.json Alias /custom /srv/funkwhale/custom Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Require all granted Once done, reload your reverse proxy, refresh Funkwhale in your web browser, and you should see a red background. .. note:: You can reference external urls as well in ``settings.json``, simply use the full urls. Be especially careful with external urls as they may affect your users privacy. .. warning:: Loading additional stylesheets and CSS rules can affect the performance and usability of your instance. If you encounter issues with the interfaces and use custom stylesheets, try to disable those to ensure the issue is not caused by your customizations.
