# Configuration
Chihaya's behaviour is customized by setting up a JSON configuration file.
Available keys are as follows:
##### `http_listen_addr`
type: string
default: ":6881"
The listen address for the HTTP server. If only a port is specified, the tracker will listen on all interfaces.
##### `private_enabled`
type: bool
default: true
Whether this is a public or private tracker.
##### `create_on_announce`
type: bool
default: true
Whether to register new torrents with the tracker when any client announces (`true`), or to return an error if the torrent doesn't exist (`false`). This should be set to `false` for private trackers in most cases.
##### `purge_inactive_torrents`
type: bool
default: true
If torrents should be forgotten when there are no active peers. This should be set to `false` for private trackers.
##### `announce`
type: duration
default: "30m"
The announce `interval` value sent to clients. This specifies how long clients should wait between regular announces.
##### `min_announce`
type: duration
default: "30m"
The announce `min_interval` value sent to clients. This theoretically specifies the minimum allowed time between announces, but most clients don't really respect it.
##### `default_num_want`
type: integer
default: 50
The default maximum number of peers to return if the client has not requested a specific number.
##### `allow_ip_spoofing`
type: bool
default: true
Whether peers are allowed to set their own IP via the various supported methods or if these are ignored. This must be enabled for dual-stack IP support, since there is no other way to determine both IPs of a peer otherwise.
##### `dual_stacked_peers`
type: bool
default: true
True if peers may have both an IPv4 and IPv6 address, otherwise only one IP per peer will be used.
##### `real_ip_header`
type: string
default: blank
An optional HTTP header indicating the upstream IP, for example `X-Forwarded-For` or `X-Real-IP`. Use this when running the tracker behind a reverse proxy.
##### `respect_af`
type: bool
default: false
Whether responses should only include peers of the same address family as the announcing peer, or if peers of any family may be returned (i.e. both IPv4 and IPv6).
##### `client_whitelist_enabled`
type: bool
default: false
Enables the peer ID whitelist.
##### `client_whitelist`
type: array of strings
default: []
List of peer ID prefixes to allow if `client_whitelist_enabled` is set to true.
##### `freeleech_enabled`
type: bool
default: false
For private trackers only, whether download stats should be counted or ignored for users.
##### `torrent_map_shards`
type: integer
default: 1
Number of internal torrent maps to use. Leave this at 1 in general, however it can potentially improve performance when there are many unique torrents and few peers per torrent.
