Dify App Configuration via Database

Document ID: FFG-DEP-DIFY-001 Created: April 12, 2026 (Chronicler #84 — The Meridian) Purpose: How to configure Dify apps without using the UI (avoids "everything disappears if you don't publish" problem)


Why This Exists

Dify's web UI loses unsaved changes if you navigate away before publishing. The API uses session-based auth that's not easily accessible. The cleanest approach is direct database manipulation via the Dify PostgreSQL container.


Key Database Info

  • Container: firefrost-codex-db-1 on TX1 Dallas (38.68.14.26)
  • Database: dify
  • User: postgres
  • Access: docker exec firefrost-codex-db-1 psql -U postgres -d dify -c "..."

Key Tables

Table Purpose
apps App name, mode, config ID
app_model_configs Model, system prompt, dataset config
app_dataset_joins Links apps to knowledge bases
api_tokens API keys per app
datasets Knowledge bases

Common Operations

Rename an app

UPDATE apps SET name = 'The Forge' WHERE id = '<app_id>';

Find app ID by name

SELECT id, name, mode FROM apps ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 10;

Get app API token

SELECT token FROM api_tokens WHERE app_id = '<app_id>';
INSERT INTO app_dataset_joins (app_id, dataset_id)
VALUES ('<app_id>', '<dataset_id>');
UPDATE app_model_configs 
SET dataset_configs = '{
  "retrieval_model": "multiple",
  "datasets": {
    "datasets": [{
      "dataset": {
        "enabled": true,
        "id": "<dataset_id>"
      }
    }]
  }
}'::jsonb
WHERE id = '<config_id>';

Get config ID for an app

SELECT app_model_config_id FROM apps WHERE name = 'The Forge';
