Settings Management

Reading Settings

from helper import get_setting_value

value = get_setting_value('SETTING_NAME')

Never hardcode ports, secrets, or configuration values. Always use get_setting_value().

Adding Core Settings

Use ccd() in server/initialise.py:

ccd('SETTING_NAME', 'default_value', 'description')

Adding Plugin Settings

Define in plugin's config.json manifest under the settings section.

Config Files

File	Purpose
/data/config/app.conf	Runtime config (modified by app)
back/app.conf	Default config (template)

Environment Override

Use APP_CONF_OVERRIDE environment variable for settings that must be set before startup.
