    Hi, I have Pixelfed installed, and I'd let to set the .env variable MEDIA_EXIF_DATABASE to true. This variable is located in the file /app/code/.env.docker which I believe is read only. This setting is (sparsely) documented at https://docs.pixelfed.org/technical-documentation/config/ .

    I tried overriding it in the /app/code/.env file, (by adding MEDIA_EXIF_DATABASE=true), but after restarting the app, this variable is still shown to be false when accessing the diagnostics page at /i/admin/diagnostics/home.

    Any help is appreciated!
    Chris

    @cdrum On Cloudron, you have to edit /app/data/env.production - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/pixelfed/#customizations . This is symlinked from /app/code/.env , so it's the same file as you adjusted.

    The /i/admin/diagnostics/home file is sometimes misleading (I recall this for some other variable as well). You can try adjusting some other variables and you will see that it is reflected. After making sure that's the case, you can report the issue upstream - https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/.

    I think https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/2801 was the upstream issue. But maybe you can open a separate one as well.
