# General The top-level configuration for GoToSocial, including basic things like host, port, bind address and transport protocol. The only things you *really* need to set here are `host`, which should be the hostname where your instance is reachable, and probably `port`. ## Settings ```yaml ########################### ##### GENERAL CONFIG ###### ########################### # String. Log level to use throughout the application. Must be lower-case. # Options: ["trace","debug","info","warn","error","fatal"] # Default: "info" log-level: "info" # Bool. Log database queries when log-level is set to debug or trace. # This setting produces verbose logs, so it's better to only enable it # when you're trying to track an issue down. # Options: [true, false] # Default: false log-db-queries: false # String. Application name to use internally. # Examples: ["My Application","gotosocial"] # Default: "gotosocial" application-name: "gotosocial" # String. Hostname that this server will be reachable at. Defaults to localhost for local testing, # but you should *definitely* change this when running for real, or your server won't work at all. # DO NOT change this after your server has already run once, or you will break things! # Examples: ["gts.example.org","some.server.com"] # Default: "localhost" host: "localhost" # String. Domain to use when federating profiles. This is useful when you want your server to be at # eg., "gts.example.org", but you want the domain on accounts to be "example.org" because it looks better # or is just shorter/easier to remember. # To make this setting work properly, you need to redirect requests at "example.org/.well-known/webfinger" # to "gts.example.org/.well-known/webfinger" so that GtS can handle them properly. # You should also redirect requests at "example.org/.well-known/nodeinfo" in the same way. # An empty string (ie., not set) means that the same value as 'host' will be used. # DO NOT change this after your server has already run once, or you will break things! # Examples: ["example.org","server.com"] # Default: "" account-domain: "" # String. Protocol to use for the server. Only change to http for local testing! # This should be the protocol part of the URI that your server is actually reachable on. So even if you're # running GoToSocial behind a reverse proxy that handles SSL certificates for you, instead of using built-in # letsencrypt, it should still be https. # Options: ["http","https"] # Default: "https" protocol: "https" # String. Address to bind the GoToSocial server to. # This can be an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address (surrounded in square brackets), or a hostname. # Default value will bind to all interfaces. # You probably won't need to change this unless you're setting GoToSocial up in some fancy way or # you have specific networking requirements. # Examples: ["0.0.0.0", "172.128.0.16", "localhost", "[::]", "[2001:db8::fed1]"] # Default: "0.0.0.0" bind-address: "0.0.0.0" # Int. Listen port for the GoToSocial webserver + API. If you're running behind a reverse proxy and/or in a docker, # container, just set this to whatever you like (or leave the default), and make sure it's forwarded properly. # If you are running with built-in letsencrypt enabled, and running GoToSocial directly on a host machine, you will # probably want to set this to 443 (standard https port), unless you have other services already using that port. # This *MUST NOT* be the same as the letsencrypt port specified below, unless letsencrypt is turned off. # Examples: [443, 6666, 8080] # Default: 8080 port: 8080 # Array of string. CIDRs or IP addresses of proxies that should be trusted when determining real client IP from behind a reverse proxy. # If you're running inside a Docker container behind Traefik or Nginx, for example, add the subnet of your docker network, # or the gateway of the docker network, and/or the address of the reverse proxy (if it's not running on the host network). # Example: ["127.0.0.1/32", "172.20.0.1"] # Default: ["127.0.0.1/32", "::1"] (localhost ipv4 + ipv6) trusted-proxies: - "127.0.0.1/32" - "::1" ```
