This document demonstrates how to get and set model configuration values.
A model’s configuration influences all the machines residing within it and, in turn, the applications that get deployed onto those machines.

Get values
See also:
model-config,model-defaults
To get the current model configuration, use the model-config command, as shown below. This will show all the currently set key values—whether they were set by you, inherited as a default value, or dynamically set by Juju.
juju model-config
You can also see a list of all the default model configuration values.
For this, use the model-defaults command, as shown below.
juju model-defaults
Set values
During controller creation
See also:
juju bootstrap --config ...,juju bootstrap --model-default ..., How to create a controller
The first chance to set model configuration keys is during controller creation, via the bootstrap command plus an option—either --config or --model-default followed by a key-value pair. The difference is that --config affects just the ‘controller’ and ‘default’ models while --model-default affects all models, including any future ones. For example:
juju bootstrap --config image-stream=daily localhost lxd-daily
To pass multiple key-value pairs, repeat --config or --model-default for every pair. For example:
juju bootstrap microk8s uk8s \
--model-default logging-config="<root>=WARNING; unit=DEBUG" \
--model-default update-status-hook-interval="60m"
After controller creation
You can also set model configuration(s / defaults) after controller creation. This can happen during model creation or after model creation.
During model creation
See also: add-model --config
To configure a model while adding it, use the add-model command with the --config option. You can pass the key-value pair(s) directly or via a YAML file. The example below illustrates both:
juju add-model mymodel --config my-config.yaml --config image-stream=daily
After model creation
See also:
model-config ...,model-config --reset ...,model-defaults ...
To configure a model after you’ve already added it, you can set a value by using juju model-config followed by the relevant key-value pair:
juju model-config no-proxy=jujucharms.com
It is also possible to specify a list of key-value pairs:
juju model-config test-mode=true enable-os-upgrade=false
And you can also specify a YAML file containing a list of key-value pairs:
juju model-config no-proxy=jujucharms.com more-config-values.yaml
Juju does not currently check that the provided key is a valid setting, so make sure you spell it correctly.
You can also set a null value:
juju model-config apt-mirror=""
To return a value to the default setting, use the --reset flag followed by the key name:
juju model-config --reset test-mode
You can also set default values that all new models will use. These values can even be specified for each cloud region instead of just the controller. For example, to set a default value for ‘ftp-proxy’, do:
juju model-defaults ftp-proxy=10.0.0.1:8000
While doing this, you can also specify a controller region:
juju model-defaults us-east-1 test-mode=true enable-os-upgrade=false
And you can also pass the key-value pairs from a YAML file:
juju model-defaults more-default-config-values.yaml
These defaults can be overridden, on a per-model basis, during the invocation of the add-model command (option --config) as well as by resetting specific options to their original defaults through the use of the model-config command (option --reset).
