Re: Config: DB or git?

I like to handle things the way Heroku does.

1. Use fabric or ansible to define the machine configurations.

2. Use a .env file on remote server, where you can store the setting values, which can be loaded into django settings.

python-dotenv[1] is a nifty tool that works with fabric to manage your remote .env file. Changing a config value on a dev 

server can be as simple as:

fab dev config:set,DEBUG,False

If you're a programmer or sysadmin, configuration should be done in files.

Why do you look the person for a decision like this?

Wouldn't it be better to look at the data which gets configured here?

I love git like most programmers love their version control system.

But for most stuff config in DB is much better.

example: INSTALLED_APPS

Wouldn't it be really cool if you could add an app by pressing a button?

I have developed, maintained, managed and supported a generic ORM that
stores all details about how things are configured - models, fields,
classes, behaviours - in the DB for the past ten years, and I can tell
you that, no, it is not really cool, it is a massive pain in the
proverbial.

Yes, you are right. Storing the ORM models in DB is too much.
