Backend configuration

Configuring Comentario server

Comentario backend (server) has two sets of parameters.

  • Static configuration, which can only be set or changed at server start-up. These parameters can be configured using command-line options or environment variables.
  • Dynamic items, which can be changed at runtime and apply immediately.

Static configuration

The static, or start-up, configuration of Comentario server can be set using command-line options or environment variables. Both methods are equivalent, with command-line options taking precedence.

Secrets

Comentario stores its sensitive data in a YAML file called secrets. The secrets file is a part of static backend configuration.

Dynamic configuration

The dynamic, or runtime, configuration of Comentario server can be set in the Administration UI.
