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 include the trailing slash.

• cors_urls

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

• api_base_path

The URL base path of the backend API. Default is /api/v1. Note the lack of a trailing slash.

• 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 URL
frontend_url = "http://localhost:3000/"

# REQUIRED: List all origins that will access the API
cors_urls = ["http://localhost:3000", "http://localhost:8000"]

# Optional: API base path (rarely needs to be changed)
api_base_path = "/api/v1"

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

The frontend_url and cors_urls are the most important settings to configure correctly. Make sure they match your actual deployment URLs.
