Gemini (AI)

Option	Type	Description
gemini.enabled	boolean	Set to true to enable AI-powered open-ended question answering
gemini.key	string	Your Google Gemini API key. Get one free at aistudio.google.com
gemini.model	string	Which Gemini model to use. Defaults to gemini-pro

---

Server

Option	Type	Description
server_port	number	The port the server runs on. Default is 8080. Change this if something else is already using port 8080
behind_proxy	boolean	Set to true if you're running this behind a reverse proxy like Nginx. This makes IP rate limiting work correctly
gzip_responses	boolean	Compress server responses. Slightly reduces bandwidth usage

---

Rate Limiting

Option	Type	Description
rate_limits	object	Controls how many requests can be made per time period for each AI service. Format follows Flask-Limiter notation (e.g. "10 per minute")
limiter_storage_uri	string	Where rate limit data is stored. Use "memory://" if you don't want to set up a database

---

Development / Debugging

Option	Type	Description
dev_mode	boolean	Puts the server in debug mode — it will automatically restart when you save a file. Only use this if you're modifying the code
include_traceback	boolean	Shows full error stack traces in the browser when something goes wrong. Do not enable this on a public server — it exposes your file paths
