Configuration

Please see this page for information regarding database configuration or where to access it.

The CONFIG_PATH environment variable can be set to make Spacebar use a JSON file instead of a database table.

Spacebar's configuration is done through the config table of your database. The table schema consists of two columns key and value, where value is a JSON value. For now, you can update this through SQL manually or a GUI database editor such as DBeaver.

Array Types

Arrays are represented by _[number] in a config key. For example, multiple guild_defaultFeatures may be assigned such as

key value
guild_defaultFeatures_0 DISCOVERABLE
guild_defaultFeatures_1 ANIMATED_ICON
etc etc
