The server's config file at $HOME/.camlistore/server-config.json is JSON. It can either be in simple mode (for basic configurations), or in low-level mode (for any sort of crazy configuration).
This page documents the simple configuration mode.
If you visit your Camlistore server's /setup page (by default, at http://localhost:3179/setup) you can modify the config file from your web browser and restart the server.
auth: the authentication mechanism to use. Example values include:
none | No authentication. |
localhost | Accept connections coming from localhost. On Linux, this means connections from localhost that are also from the same user as the user running the server. |
userpass:alice:secret | HTTP basic authentication. Username "alice", password "secret". Only recommended if using HTTPS. |
userpass:alice:secret:+localhost | Same as above, but also accept localhost auth |
userpass:alice:secret:vivify=othersecret | Alice has password "secret", but her Android phone can use password "othersecret" to do a minimal set of operations (upload new things, but not access anything)r |
baseURL: Optional. If non-empty, this is the root of your URL prefix for your Camlistore server. Useful for when running behind a reverse proxy. Should not end in a slash. e.g. https://yourserver.example.comblobPath: local disk path to store blobs. May be empty if some other storage option is specified.https: if "true", HTTPS is usedidentity: your GPG fingerprint. A keypair is created for new users on start, but this may be changed if you know what you're doing.identitySecretRing: your GnuPG secret keyring file. A new keyring is created on start for new users, but may be changed if you know what you're doing./li>
listen: The port (like "80" or ":80") or IP & port (like "10.0.0.2:8080") to listen for HTTP(s) connections on.s3: Either empty (to not use Amazon S3 for storage), or of form "key:secret:bucket" (with colons, but no quotes).
