--- title: SDK Settings description: The daemon provided by the LBRY SDK has many settings. This resource lists them all and what they mean. Ready, set, settings! --- This document outlines how to configure SDK daemon settings and what options are available. They can be found on the lbry GitHub repository in [conf.py](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry/blob/master/lbrynet/conf.py). ## Daemon settings configuration The easiest way to configure the settings is by editing the `daemon_settings.yml` file (may need to be created) that resides in the default [lbrynet directory](https://lbry.com/faq/lbry-directories). These settings can also be configured via the [settings_set](https://lbry.tech/api/sdk#settings_set) API call. The [settings_get](https://lbry.tech/api/sdk#settings_get) API call can be used to retrieve current values. Some values will require an SDK restart after being set via the API call. Sample daemon_settings.yml file: ``` tcp_port: 3335 lbryum_servers: ['lbryumx1.lbry.com:50001','lbryumx2.lbry.com:50001'] download_directory: 'c:\lbry\Downloads' use_upnp: false ``` To run the SDK with a specific configuration file, launch it by passing the config path: ```lbrynet start --config=c:\path\to\conf\daemon_settings.yml```. To run in debug mode, start with ```lbrynet start --verbose=lbrynet```. ## Configuration options Configuration options are organized by their respective areas: Files, Wallet, Network, Security and Other. ### Files | Setting | Format | Default value | Sample Values | Description | |------------------------|---------|------------------------------------------------------|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | data_dir | string | [varies by OS](https://lbry.com/faq/lbry-directories) | 'c:\lbry\lbrynet\' | Where to store the lbrynet folder, which includes blob files, logs and config data | | delete_blobs_on_remove | boolean | true | false | Delete blobs on a file_delete call? | | download_dir | string | local downloads folder | 'c:\lbry\lbrynet\' | Location of downloaded output files | ### Wallet | Setting | Format | Default value | Sample Values | Description | |-------------------------------|---------|------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | blockchain_name | string | 'lbrycrd_main' | 'lbrycrd_regtest' | Blockchain network to connect to | | lbryum_servers | list | ['lbryumx1.lbry.com:50001','lbryumx2.lbry.com:50001'] | ["mylbryum.lbry.com:50001] | SPV wallet server address | | wallet_dir | string | [varies by OS](https://lbry.com/faq/lbry-directories) | 'c:\lbry\lbryum\' | Wallet data location | | max_key_fee | json | {'currency': 'USD', 'amount': 50.0} | {'currency': 'LBC', 'amount': 5.0} | Max payment allowed for content | | wallet | string | 'lbryum' | 'lbrycrd' | Choice of wallet software, SPV (lbryum) vs full node (lbrycrd).
