apache airflow configuration is empty and dags && plugins missing

Question

I have installed apache airflow on Ubuntu 18.4 using this link https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/start/local.html now when i run airflow with

airflow webserver --port 8080

and the Admin/Configurtion is empty and there is this message:

"Your Airflow administrator chose not to expose the configuration, most likely for security reasons."

What i did wrong? More information that me be helpfull is that i created an user[airflow] and do all installtion with sudo , so my airflow info is :

However these folder does not exists also :/home/airflow/airflow/dags && /home/airflow/airflow/plugins

Answer 1

You will probably need to set expose_config = True in airflow.cfg and restart the web-server.

Answer 2

As @somuchtolearnandshare mentioned, it should be AIRFLOW__WEBSERVER__EXPOSE_CONFIG: "True"
