You will find on this page all the configuration settings available for the Arkindex backend. These settings must be stored in a YAML file, and exposed using a Docker volume to the backend and worker container. The configuration path is set through `CONFIG_PATH` environment variable.
A minimal file is available on [our public repository](https://gitlab.teklia.com/arkindex/public-architecture/-/blob/master/config.yml).
