Most of the settings take effect immediately, except some, which need instance reboot. These settings are needed in `compile time`, that's why settings are duplicated to the file. - -File with duplicated settings is located in `config/{env}.exported_from_db.exs` if pleroma is runned from source.

This task will migrate only added by user settings. -For example you add settings to `prod.secret.exs` file, only these settings will be migrated to database.
