| SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI | ``sqlite:///tmp/ihatemoney.db`` | Specifies the type of backend to use and its location. More information on the |
| | | format used can be found on `the SQLAlchemy documentation`_. |
| | | |
| | | **Production value:** Set it to some path on your disk. Typically |
| | | ``sqlite:///home/ihatemoney/ihatemoney.db``. Do *not* store it under ``/tmp`` as this |
| | | folder is cleared at each boot. |
+-------------------------------+---------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| SECRET_KEY | ``tralala`` | The secret key used to encrypt the cookies. |
| | | |
| | | **Production value:** `ihatemoney conf-example ihatemoney.cfg` sets it to something |
| | | random, which is good. |
+-------------------------------+---------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER | ``("Budget manager", | A python tuple describing the name and email address to use when sending |
| | "budget@notmyidea.org")`` | emails. |

+-------------------------------+---------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | | Hashed password to access protected endpoints. If left empty, all administrative |
| ADMIN_PASSWORD | ``""`` | tasks are disabled. |
| | | |
| | | **Production value:** To generate the proper password HASH, use |
| | | ``ihatemoney generate_password_hash`` and copy the output into the value of |
| | | *ADMIN_PASSWORD*. |
+-------------------------------+---------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| ALLOW_PUBLIC_PROJECT_CREATION | ``True`` | If set to ``True``, everyone can create a project without entering the admin password |
| | | If set to ``False``, the password needs to be entered (and as such, defined in the |
| | | settings). |
+-------------------------------+---------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| ACTIVATE_ADMIN_DASHBOARD | ``False`` | If set to `True`, the dashboard will become accessible entering the admin password |
| | | If set to `True`, a non empty ADMIN_PASSWORD needs to be set |
+-------------------------------+---------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| APPLICATION_ROOT | ``""`` | If empty, ihatemoney will be served at domain root (e.g: *http://domain.tld*), if set |
