 ### Update config settings
 
-Updating config settings only works with `:pleroma => :instance => :dynamic_configuration` setting to `true`.
-Module name can be passed as string, which starts with `Pleroma`, e.g. `"Pleroma.Upload"`.
-Atom keys and values can be passed with `:` in the beginning, e.g. `":upload"`.
-Tuples can be passed as `{"tuple": ["first_val", Pleroma.Module, []]}`.
-`{"tuple": ["some_string", "Pleroma.Some.Module", []]}` will be converted to `{"some_string", Pleroma.Some.Module, []}`.
-Keywords can be passed as lists with 2 child tuples, e.g.
-`[{"tuple": ["first_val", Pleroma.Module]}, {"tuple": ["second_val", true]}]`.
+**Only works when configuration from database is enabled.**
 
-If value contains list of settings `[subkey: val1, subkey2: val2, subkey3: val3]`, it's possible to remove only subkeys instead of all settings passing `subkeys` parameter. E.g.:
-{"group": "pleroma", "key": "some_key", "delete": "true", "subkeys": [":subkey", ":subkey3"]}.
+Some modifications are necessary to save the config settings correctly:
 
-Compile time settings (need instance reboot):
-- all settings by this keys:
+- strings which start with `Pleroma.`, `Phoenix.`, `Tesla.` or strings like `Oban`, `Ueberauth` will be converted to modules;
+```

+"Oban" -> Oban
+```
+- strings starting with `:` will be converted to atoms;
+```
+":pleroma" -> :pleroma
+```
+- objects with `tuple` key and array value will be converted to tuples;
+```
+{"tuple": ["string", "Pleroma.Upload", []]} -> {"string", Pleroma.Upload, []}
+```
+- arrays with *tuple objects* will be converted to keywords;
+```
+[{"tuple": [":key1", "value"]}, {"tuple": [":key2", "value"]}] -> [key1: "value", key2: "value"]
+```
+
+Most of the settings will be applied in `runtime`, this means that you don't need to restart the instance. But some settings are applied in `compile time` and require a reboot of the instance, such as:
+- all settings inside these keys:
   - `:hackney_pools`
   - `:chat`
-  - `Pleroma.Web.Endpoint`

+# Configuring instance
+You can configure your instance from admin interface. You need account with admin rights and little change in config file, which will allow settings configuration from database.
+
+```elixir
+config :pleroma, configurable_from_database: true
+```
+
+## How it works
+Settings are stored in database and are applied in `runtime` after each change. 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. For prod env it will be `config/prod.exported_from_db.exs`.
+
+For releases: `/etc/pleroma/prod.exported_from_db.secret.exs` or `PLEROMA_CONFIG_PATH/prod.exported_from_db.exs`.
+
+## How to set it up
+You need to migrate your existing settings to the database. 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. For release it will be `/etc/pleroma/config.exs` or `PLEROMA_CONFIG_PATH`.
+You can do this with mix task (all config files will remain untouched):
+
+```sh tab="OTP"
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl config migrate_to_db
+```
+
+```sh tab="From Source"
+mix pleroma.config migrate_to_db
+```
+
+Now you can change settings in admin interface. After each save, settings from database are duplicated to the `config/{env}.exported_from_db.exs` file.
+
+<span style="color:red">**ATTENTION**</span>
+
+**<span style="color:red">Be careful while changing the settings. Every inaccurate configuration change can break the federation or the instance load.</span>**
+
+*Compile time settings, which require instance reboot and can break instance loading:*
+- all settings inside these keys:
+  - `:hackney_pools`
+  - `:chat`
+- partially settings inside these keys:
+  - `:seconds_valid` in `Pleroma.Captcha`
+  - `:proxy_remote` in `Pleroma.Upload`
+  - `:upload_limit` in `:instance`
+
+## How to dump settings from database to file
+
+*Adding `-d` flag will delete migrated settings from database table.*
+
+```sh tab="OTP"
+ ./bin/pleroma_ctl config migrate_from_db [-d]
+```
+
+```sh tab="From Source"
+mix pleroma.config migrate_from_db [-d]
+```
+
+
+## How to completely remove it
+
+1. Truncate or delete all values from `config` table
+```sql
+TRUNCATE TABLE config;
+```
+2. Delete `config/{env}.exported_from_db.exs`.
+
+For `prod` env:
+```bash
+cd /opt/pleroma
+cp config/prod.exported_from_db.exs config/exported_from_db.back
+rm -rf config/prod.exported_from_db.exs
+```
+*If you don't want to backup settings, you can skip step with `cp` command.*
+
+3. Set configurable_from_database to `false`.
+```elixir
+config :pleroma, configurable_from_database: false
+```
+4. Restart pleroma instance
+```bash
+sudo service pleroma restart
