SDK Settings 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.

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.
