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. Some values will require an SDK restart after being set via the API call.
Sample daemon_settings.yml file:
tcp_port: 3335
lbryum_servers: ['spv11.lbry.com:50001','spv19.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.
