Configurable settings for the LBRY daemon
This document outlines how to configure daemon settings and what options are available. They can be found on the lbry GitHub repository in 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. These settings can also be configured via the settings_set API call. The settings_get API call can be used to retrieve current values. Currently not all settings are made available via the API calls, see GitHub issue 1374.
Sample daemon_settings.yml file:
peer_port: 3335
lbryum_servers: ['lbryumx1.lbry.io:50001','lbryumx2.lbry.io:50001']
download_directory: 'c:\lbry\Downloads'
use_upnp: false
Configuration options
Configuration options are organized by their respective areas: Files, Wallet, Network, Security and Other.
