Backend

These settings configure the core backend application through the config.toml file. All backend configuration is now centralized in this TOML file instead of environment variables.

General Settings ([misc])

• frontend_url

The URL the frontend will be accessed from. This is a required field and must not include a trailing slash. The default path is http://localhost:8000.

E.g. if you are accessing MediaManager at http://example.com/media where /media is the base path, set this to: http://example.com/media.

If you are accessing MediaManager at the root of a domain, e.g. https://mediamanager.example.com, set this to https://mediamanager.example.com.

Make sure to change this to the URL you will use to access the application in your browser.

Note that this doesn't affect where the server binds, nor does it affect the base URL prefix. See the page on BASE_PATH for information on how to configure a prefix.

• cors_urls

A list of origins you are going to access the API from. Note the lack of trailing slashes.

• development

Set to true to enable development mode. Default is false.

Example Configuration

Here's a complete example of the general settings section in your config.toml:

[misc]
# REQUIRED: Change this to match your actual frontend domain.
frontend_url = "http://mediamanager.dev"

cors_urls = ["http://localhost:8000"]

# Optional: Development mode (set to true for debugging)
development = false

The frontend_url is the most important settings to configure correctly. Make sure it matches your actual deployment URLs.
