settings in sqlite #24

Closed buhman closed 6 years ago

buhman commented 6 years ago

IMO while settings-in-sqlite is maybe cool, operationally it's more trouble than it's worth if someone wants to make a production deployment--they now need to either copy around this database blob, or have some setup script that runs sqlite3 queries to insert their config.

Might I suggest scrapping that idea entirely and doing something less crazy like configuration-from-environment?

Actually, this is something I feel pretty strongly about for a few reasons:

Means that (hopefully) sane defaults are present automatically with no need to mess with the configuration if you're fine with them as they sit
Some settings (not all) will be queryable by users so that the configuration (e.g., features supported) will be easily auditable
