Configuration

Accessing Configuration

Open the Admin Panel and navigate to the main settings page. Core configuration options are available under the General tab.

How Configuration Works

Conduit uses centralized configuration management:

1. Core stores all module configurations in the Config service
2. Modules retrieve their config on startup
3. Changes propagate automatically when you update settings

Configuration Methods

Method	Use Case
Admin Panel	Visual interface, recommended for most users
Admin REST API	Programmatic access, automation
Admin GraphQL API	Flexible queries for configuration

Updating Configuration

1. Navigate to the module's Settings tab
2. Edit the configuration values
3. Click Save

Changes take effect immediately.

Core Environment Variables

Core requires certain environment variables for startup:

Name	Required	Description	Example
REDIS_HOST	Yes	Redis host address	localhost
REDIS_PORT	Yes	Redis port	6379
ADMIN_HTTP_PORT	No	Admin REST/GraphQL port	3030
ADMIN_SOCKET_PORT	No	Admin WebSocket port	3031
GRPC_PORT	No	gRPC server port	55152
MASTER_KEY	No	Admin request authorization secret	M4ST3RK3Y
GRPC_KEY	No	gRPC signed request protection	someRandomSecret

For a complete list of environment variables across all modules, see the Environment Variables Reference.

gRPC Request Protection

Optional security feature for module intercommunication:

• Modules sign outgoing and verify incoming gRPC calls
• Requires setting GRPC_KEY on all instances
• Does not encrypt requests (use network-level security)
• Should complement, not replace, network whitelisting

To enable, set the same GRPC_KEY value on every Core and module instance.
