which config? #53

Closed gerroon closed 5 years ago

gerroon commented 5 years ago

Can you please tell me which config does Ytsm uses? I am abit confused since there arew multiple config and default files around default.

thanks

chibicitiberiu commented 5 years ago

To put it simply:

default.ini - these are the defaults, if nothing is set for that option in config.ini. It doesn't need to be modified.
config.ini - this is the right config file
environment variables - they override config.ini, mostly useful in docker

In PR #52 I completely removed default.ini, and moved a lot of options from the config file to the application itself. Only a few options that cannot be modified at runtime are set from config.ini, such as the database.

Thanks, do I need to updte the db when I make changes to the config ini file?

chibicitiberiu commented 5 years ago

There are 2 cases where you need to re-run migrations

when you update the application.
if you modify the database settings (for example, using a different database system, or modifying the database filename) in config.ini
