As I work on the @pixelfed admin settings refactor, I'm realizing how many config settings there are, not to mention how nice it is to be able to update a setting and for it to take immediate effect without having to run commands or restart horizon/php.
I should have done this a long time ago.
:pixelfed: Admins: Manage Settings with Instant Updates + Zero Downtime.
Forget the .env and cli, soon you can manage most settings via the admin dashboard!
Shipping Soon!

@dansup @pixelfed will you be managing the s3 setting from dashboard as well?

@barbapulpe @pixelfed Yes, all translations contributions should be submitted via https://translate.pixelfed.org
We use that to merge PRs and then a separate command to convert that to the js l10n files https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/blob/dev/app/Console/Commands/ExportLanguages.php

A higher priority for me is localization: any way we can help in templating and avoiding to have to edit PHP source code to translate all texts? And fear of redoing some of the job when updating.

@toran @pixelfed I'm working on this, I think most people would prefer an official service that is operated by main developer (me).
That being said, I'm aware of a few providers, I'm not familiar enough to recommend them so keep that in mind:

https://federation.spacebear.ee/
https://spacehost.dev/

@dansup I was wondering if there was anyone providing managed @pixelfed hosting yet?
Jonas Geiler
@dansup @pixelfed I hope there will at least be an audit log for settings changes when you can't rely on git-backed version control of the settings anymore
dansup
@jonasgeiler @pixelfed the .env isn’t versioned, what’s the difference in changing .env vs on the web?
dansup
@jonasgeiler @pixelfed Oh I see, in terms of env variables, you will have the ability to disable the dashboard settings and just use docker or laravel .env variables.
We do have an Admin audit log, and I can extend it to the settings, but they would only track changes made via the web dashboard.
It would be too complicated to version .env changes.
Jonas Geiler
@dansup @pixelfed I'm not talking about .env files in particular, but about environment variables in general which might also come from docker compose files or kubernetes configuration files, which are most likely git-backed and can define environment variables
But don't worry about what I'm saying - not really experienced in building something big like Pixelfed 😅 Although an audit log would still be appreciated, especially when you have multiple admins 🙏🏼

@jonasgeiler @pixelfed We already support this by setting `ENABLE_CONFIG_CACHE=false` btw

@dansup @pixelfed Ohh okay, that's awesome then 👍🏼 Looking great!

@kranzkrone @pixelfed @oliver It would have been shipped a few days ago, however, I wanted to add some additional configuration settings like S3/Spaces to make it really easy to manage your instance.
I think it will be worth the wait 😉

@dansup
"shipping soon" a new Meme is born. 😁
