So! You’ve got MediaGoblin up and running, but you need to adjust some configuration parameters. Well you’ve come to the right place!
When configuring MediaGoblin, there are two files you might want to make local modified versions of, and one extra file that might be helpful to look at. Let’s examine these.
There’s one more file that you certainly won’t change unless you’re making coding contributions to mediagoblin, but which can be useful to read and reference:
Let’s assume you’re doing the virtualenv setup described elsewhere in this manual, and you need to make local tweaks to the config files. How do you do that? Let’s see.
To make changes to mediagoblin.ini
cp mediagoblin.ini mediagoblin_local.ini
To make changes to paste.ini
cp paste.ini paste_local.ini
From here you should be able to make direct adjustments to the files, and most of the commands described elsewhere in this manual will “notice” your local config files and use those instead of the non-local version.
Note
Note that all commands provide a way to pass in a specific config file also, usually by a -cf flag.
You’ll almost certainly want to enable sending email. By default, MediaGoblin doesn’t really do this... for the sake of developer convenience, it runs in “email debug mode”.
To make MediaGoblin send email, you need a mailer daemon.
Change this in your mediagoblin.ini file:
email_debug_mode = false
You should also change the “from” email address by setting email_sender_address. For example:
email_sender_address = "foo@example.com"
If you have more custom SMTP settings, you also have the following options at your disposal, which are all optional, and do exactly what they sound like.
