Applying Settings¶
Pulp uses dynaconf for its settings which allows you to configure Pulp in a few ways:
By Configuration File¶
To configure Pulp by settings file, you must set the format and location of the config file by
specifying the PULP_SETTINGS
environment variable. For example, if you wanted to use Python to
specify your configuration, and provide it at /etc/pulp/settings.py
you could:
export PULP_SETTINGS=/etc/pulp/settings.py
Or in a systemd file you could:
Environment="PULP_SETTINGS=/etc/pulp/settings.py" as the Ansible Installer does.
Dynaconf supports settings in multiple file formats
This file should have permissions of:
mode: 640
owner: root
group: pulp (the group of the account that pulp runs under)
SELinux context: system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0
If it is in its own directory like /etc/pulp
, the directory should have permissions of:
mode: 750
owner: root
group: pulp (the group of the account that pulp runs under)
SELinux context: unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0
By Environment Variables¶
Many users specify their Pulp settings entirely by Environment Variables. Each of the settings can
be configured using Dynaconf by prepending PULP_
to the name of the setting and specifying that
as an Environment Variable. For example the SECRET_KEY
can be specified by exporting the
PULP_SECRET_KEY
variable.
