Advanced Configuration Guide

Overview

This tutorial walks you through the most powerful configuration options for the platform, covering YAML customization, environment variable overrides, plugin chaining, and security enhancements.

Prerequisites

• Basic knowledge of the platform's default configuration
• Access to the server's filesystem with sudo privileges
• Familiarity with YAML syntax and shell scripting

Custom YAML Settings

Extend the config.yaml file to add new modules and fine‑tune performance parameters.

# config.yaml
system:
  max_threads: 16
  log_level: debug
modules:
  cache:
    enabled: true
    ttl: 3600
  analytics:
    enabled: true
    endpoint: "https://analytics.example.com"

Environment Variables

Override YAML values at runtime using environment variables. Prefix variables with APP_ and use uppercase with underscores.

# .env
APP_SYSTEM_MAX_THREADS=32
APP_MODULES_CACHE_TTL=7200

Advanced Plugins

Chain multiple plugins with custom ordering. Edit plugins.json to define execution sequence.

[
  { "name": "auth", "order": 1 },
  { "name": "rate-limiter", "order": 2 },
  { "name": "compression", "order": 3 }
]

Security Hardening

Enable strict TLS, HSTS, and CSP headers via the security.yaml file.

# security.yaml
tls:
  enforce: true
  min_version: TLS1.3
headers:
  hsts:
    max_age: 31536000
    include_subdomains: true
  csp:
    default-src: 'self'
    script-src: 'self' 'unsafe-inline'

Troubleshooting

Common issues and diagnostic commands.

• appctl status – Verify service health
• journalctl -u app.service -f – Stream logs
• curl -I https://yourdomain.com – Check response headers
