Configuration

Most users only need one setting to get started:

• Set FUSION_PASSWORD.
• For local trusted environments only: set FUSION_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=true to run without auth when OIDC is also disabled.

Then configure based on your goal:

• Run locally or on a home server
  • Optional: FUSION_PORT, FUSION_DB_PATH
• Expose Fusion behind a reverse proxy
  • Configure: FUSION_CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS, FUSION_TRUSTED_PROXIES
• Use mobile/desktop Fever clients (Reeder, Unread, FeedMe)
  • Configure: FUSION_FEVER_USERNAME (default: fusion)
  • Guide: docs/fever-api.md
• Use SSO instead of password-only login
  • Configure: FUSION_OIDC_*
  • Set FUSION_OIDC_REDIRECT_URI to https://<host>/api/oidc/callback
  • https://<host>/oidc/callback is accepted for compatibility
• Tune feed pull behavior
  • Configure: FUSION_PULL_INTERVAL, FUSION_PULL_TIMEOUT, FUSION_PULL_CONCURRENCY, FUSION_PULL_MAX_BACKOFF
  • Optional for private networks: FUSION_ALLOW_PRIVATE_FEEDS
• Troubleshoot deployments
  • Configure: FUSION_LOG_LEVEL, FUSION_LOG_FORMAT

For the complete variable reference, see .env.example.

Legacy env names (DB, PASSWORD, PORT) are still accepted for backward compatibility.
