#Configuration

This chapter describes the detailed configuration of Palpo's configuration files.

Palpo supports yaml, toml, and json as configuration file formats. You can choose the format you prefer. The toml format is recommended.

By default, the system loads the palpo.toml file in the same directory as the Palpo executable. You can change the configuration file path by setting the PALPO_CONFIG environment variable.

#Required Configuration Items

If the following mandatory items are not configured, the system will not run correctly.

# The domain name or server name used for external access to the server
server_name = "test.palpo.im"
# The local address the server listens on
listen_addr = "0.0.0.0:8008"

[db]
# Postgres database server information
url = "postgres://palpo:changeme@postgres:5432/palpo"

If you don't have a configuration file, you can copy the palpo-example.toml file in the project root directory and modify it to suit your needs.

#Common Configuration Items

#Storage Files

Use space_path to set the default storage folder for application-related data.

space_path = "./data"

#Configuring TLS Certificates

Use [tls] to configure TLS certificates. If this option is not set, TLS is disabled by default. If set, enable defaults to true. You can also set enable to false to temporarily disable TLS without deleting or commenting out the configuration.

[tls]
enable = "true"
cert = "/path/to/cert.crt"
key = "/path/to/priv.key"

#Compression Configuration

You can enable HTTP compression support using the [compression] setting. Support for zstd, zip, and brotli compression is disabled by default. You can enable them with a configuration similar to the following:

[compression]
enable_zstd = true
enable_zip = true
enable_brotli = true

#The server name does not match the domain name of the user ID.
