Amounts in configuration file

[nomaster]

The amounts for deposit and payment should be configured in a file

[YtvwlD]

Is this still relevant?

How would this be useful?

[nomaster]

I thought it would be nice to have the currency and variety of paper money to be configurable. Maybe it's better to make them managable in the web interface as well.

[YtvwlD]

So, how would we want to make this configurable? I don't really see this being useful in the web interface. A simple config file perhaps like this could be used:

currency:
  name: euro
  symbol: €
amounts:
  - amount: 2
    image: <path>
  - amount: 5
    image: <path>
[…]

Do we need more things configurable?

[YtvwlD]

Another thing: Do we want to expose this via the API? The API doesn't know anything about amounts, currently.
This is currently solely managed by the clients (and seperately, in each).
Edit: The upcoming Space-Market API v3 seems to have this.

I'll implement an endpoint in v3 to configure the valid amounts of deposits, etc. The images for the can be linked via the already existing endpoint for image handling.

[YtvwlD]

Do we really want this to be user-configurable?
I'm perfectly fine with having those endpoints, but I think they should be read-only.

[mikafinja]

We can implement this via the general informations, the server gives at the /info/ endpoint. Or an endpoint which is write-protected via a secret to be set in the config file of the server implementation. In general I would prefere to to configure it via the api.
