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-1on TX1 Dallas (38.68.14.26) - Database:

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 |

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>';
Link KB to app
INSERT INTO app_dataset_joins (app_id, dataset_id)
VALUES ('<app_id>', '<dataset_id>');
Update dataset config (enable hybrid search)
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';
