# Useful Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
Plume relies on some environment variables for some configuration options. You can either set them before
|
|
starting the app with `cargo run` or write them in a `.env` file to have automatically loaded.
|
|
|
|
Here are the variables that Plume uses:
|
|
|
|
- `BASE_URL`: the domain name, or IP and port on which Plume is listening. It is used in all federation-related code.
|
|
- `DATABASE_URL`: the URL of the PostgreSQL database, used by Plume (`postgres://plume:plume@localhost/plume` by default with PostgreSQL, `plume.db` with SQlite).
|
|
- `USE_HTTPS`: if it is `0`, federation and medias will be using HTTP by default (`1` by default).
|
|
- `ROCKET_ADDRESS`: the adress on which Plume should listen (`0.0.0.0` by default).
|
|
- `ROCKET_PORT`: the port on which Plume should listen ([`7878` by default](https://twitter.com/ag_dubs/status/852559264510070784))
|
|
- `ROCKET_SECRET_KEY`: key used to sign private cookies and for CSRF protection. If it is not set, it will be regenerated everytime you restart Plume,
|
|
meaning that all your users will get disconnected. You can generate one with `openssl rand -base64 32`.
|
|
|
|
## Diesel
|
|
|
|
Diesel, the tool we use to run migrations may be configured with the `DATABASE_URL` which should contain the URL of the
|
|
PostgreSQL database. Otherwise, you can specify `--database-url YOUR-URL` everytime you run a `diesel` command.
