Ditto has many config parameters which can be set in the config files or via environment variables.
This section will cover some of Ditto's config parameters.

### Migrating to Ditto 3.4.x

From v3.4.0 Ditto removes all dependencies for [Akka](https://akka.io) since the switch to [BSL License](https://www.lightbend.com/akka/license-faq) after Akka v2.6.x
and switches over to [Apache Pekko](https://pekko.apache.org/docs/pekko/current/index.html) which is a fork of Akka from the latest Apache 2.0 version.

To migrate a running system with live data there are few configurations that should be overridden with Java system properties in the following services.

Policies:
```markdown
* -Dpekko-contrib-mongodb-persistence-policies-journal.overrides.metadata-index=akka_persistence_metadata_pid
* -Dpekko-contrib-mongodb-persistence-policies-journal-read.overrides.metadata-index=akka_persistence_metadata_pid
```

Things:
```markdown
* -Dpekko-contrib-mongodb-persistence-things-journal.overrides.metadata-index=akka_persistence_metadata_pid
* -Dpekko-contrib-mongodb-persistence-things-journal-read.overrides.metadata-index=akka_persistence_metadata_pid
```

Connectivity:
```markdown
* -Dpekko-contrib-mongodb-persistence-connection-journal.overrides.metadata-index=akka_persistence_metadata_pid
* -Dpekko-contrib-mongodb-persistence-connection-journal-read.overrides.metadata-index=akka_persistence_metadata_pid
* -Dpekko-contrib-mongodb-persistence-connection-remember-journal.overrides.metadata-index=akka_persistence_metadata_pid
```

And also a full cluster recreate is required, rolling update is not supported as there are changes in the management
urls and ports.

Other than that the transition should be smooth.

### MongoDB configuration
If you choose not to use the MongoDB container and instead use a dedicated MongoDB you can use
the following environment variables in order to configure the connection to the MongoDB.
