Configuration

This document describes the various configuration options available in Patchwork. These options can be used for both development and deployment installations.

The settings.py File

Patchwork is a Django application and, as such, relies on Python-based settings files. Refer to the Django documentation for more information on the general format.

Patchwork provides three settings files:

base.py

A base settings file that should not be used directly.

dev.py

A settings file for development use. This file is horribly insecure and must not be used in production.

production.example.py

A sample settings file for production use. This will likely require some heavy customization. The deployment guide provides more information.

Patchwork-specific Settings

Patchwork utilizes a number of Patchwork-only settings in addition to the Django and Django REST Framework settings.

ADMINS_HIDE

If True, the details in ADMINS will be hidden from the About page (/about).

New in version 2.2.

COMPAT_REDIR

Enable redirections of URLs from previous versions of Patchwork.

CONFIRMATION_VALIDITY_DAYS

The number of days to consider an account confirmation request valid. After this interval, the cron management command will delete the request.

DEFAULT_ITEMS_PER_PAGE

The default number of items to display in the list pages for a project (/project/{projectID}/list) or bundle (/bundle/{userID}/{bundleName}).

This is customizable on a per-user basis from the user configuration page.

Changed in version 2.0: This option was previously named DEFAULT_PATCHES_PER_PAGE. It was renamed as cover letters are now supported also.

ENABLE_REST_API

Enable the REST API.

New in version 2.0.

ENABLE_XMLRPC

Enable the XML-RPC API.

MAX_REST_RESULTS_PER_PAGE

The maximum number of items that can be requested in a REST API request using the per_page parameter.

New in version 2.2.

NOTIFICATION_DELAY_MINUTES

The number of minutes to wait before sending any notifications to a user. An notification generated during this time are gathered into a single digest email, ensuring users are not spammed with emails from Patchwork.

NOTIFICATION_FROM_EMAIL

The email address that notification emails should be sent from.

REST_RESULTS_PER_PAGE

The number of items to include in REST API responses by default. This can be overridden by the per_page parameter for some endpoints.

New in version 2.0.
