#  Database configuration
#
#########################################

##
## Database configuration with separate parameters.
## This setting is MANDATORY, unless 'database_url' is used.
##
db:
  user: kemal
  password: kemal
  host: localhost
  port: 5432
  dbname: invidious

##
## Database configuration using a single URI. This is an
## alternative to the 'db' parameter above. If both forms
## are used, then only database_url is used.
## This setting is MANDATORY, unless 'db' is used.
##
## Note: The 'database_url' setting allows the use of UNIX
## sockets. To do so, remove the IP address (or FQDN) and port
## and append the 'host' parameter. E.g:
##   postgres://kemal:kemal@/invidious?host=/var/run/postgresql
##
## Accepted values: a postgres:// URI
## Default: postgres://kemal:kemal@localhost:5432/invidious
##
#database_url: postgres://kemal:kemal@localhost:5432/invidious

##
## Enable automatic table integrity check. This will create
## the required tables and columns if anything is missing.
##
## Accepted values: true, false
## Default: false
##
#check_tables: false

##
## Port to listen on for incoming connections.
##
## Note: Ports lower than 1024 requires either root privileges
## (not recommended) or the "CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE" capability
## (See https://stackoverflow.com/a/414258 and `man capabilities`)
##
## Accepted values: 1-65535
## Default: 3000
##
#port: 3000

##
## When the invidious instance is behind a proxy, and the proxy
## listens on a different port than the instance does, this lets
## invidious know about it. This is used to craft absolute URLs
## to the instance (e.g in the API).
##
## Note: This setting is MANDATORY if invidious is behind a
## reverse proxy.
##
## Accepted values: 1-65535
## Default: <none>
##
#external_port:

##
## Interface address to listen on for incoming connections.
##
## Accepted values: a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.
## default: 0.0.0.0  (listen on all interfaces)
##
#host_binding: 0.0.0.0

##
## Domain name under which this instance is hosted. This is
## used to craft absolute URLs to the instance (e.g in the API).
## The domain MUST be defined if your instance is accessed from
## a domain name (like 'example.com').
##
## Accepted values: a fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
## Default: <none>
##
domain:

##
## A list of domains where external proxy servers. This is used
## to build the urls used for proxing videos.
## When none is set invidious will be used for proxiying.
## This generally only needs to be set for bigger instances,
## a example proxy url would be like ['proxy.example.com'].
## Using a list urls might look like this:
## ['proxy-eu1.example.com','proxy-eu2.example.com']
## Invidious would then choose at random which request gets one
## of the proxy servers
##
## Accepted values: a list of fully qualified domain names (FQDN)
## Default: [""]
##
proxy_domains: [""]

##
## Tell Invidious that it is behind a proxy that provides only
## HTTPS, so all links must use the https:// scheme. This
## setting MUST be set to true if invidious is behind a
## reverse proxy serving HTTPs.
##
## Accepted values: true, false
## Default: false
##
https_only: false

##
## Enable/Disable 'Strict-Transport-Security'. Make sure that
## the domain specified under 'domain' is served securely.

## Default: 100
##
#pool_size: 100

##
## Enable/Disable the use of QUIC (HTTP/3) when connecting
## to the youtube API and websites ('youtube.com', 'ytimg.com').
## QUIC's main advantages are its lower latency and lower bandwidth
## use, compared to its predecessors. However, the current version
## of QUIC used in invidious is still based on the IETF draft 31,
## meaning that the underlying library may still not be fully
## optimized. You can read more about QUIC at the link below:
## https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-quic-transport-31
##
## Note: you should try both options and see what is the best for your
## instance. In general QUIC is recommended for public instances. Your
## mileage may vary.
##
## Note 2: Using QUIC prevents some captcha challenges from appearing.
## See: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/957#issuecomment-576424042
##
## Accepted values: true, false
## Default: false
##
