Monero Configuration File |
Monero Configuration File
Applicability
By default Monero looks for bitmonero.conf
in Monero data directory.
To use a specific config file add --config-file
option:
./monerod --config-file=/etc/monerod.conf
The --config-file
option is available for:
monerod
monero-wallet-cli
monero-wallet-rpc
monero-gen-trusted-multisig
Syntax
option-name=value
valueless-option-name=1
for options that don't expect value# comment
- whitespace is ignored
Reference
All configuration options are the same as command line options for the binary.
Skip the --
from --option-name
.
Example:
./monerod --log-level=4 --stagenet
translates to:
log-level=4
stagenet=1 # use value "1" to enable the value-less options like --stagenet
Examples
monerod.conf
This config is tailored for production server usage.
# /etc/monero/monerod.conf
# Data directory (blockchain db and indices)
data-dir=/home/monero/.monero # Remember to create the monero user first
# Log file
log-file=/var/log/monero/monerod.log
max-log-file-size=0 # Prevent monerod from managing the log files; we want logrotate to take care of that
# P2P full node
p2p-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 # Bind to all interfaces (the default)
p2p-bind-port=18080 # Bind to default port
# RPC open node
rpc-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 # Bind to all interfaces
rpc-bind-port=18081 # Bind on default port
confirm-external-bind=1 # Open node (confirm)
restricted-rpc=1 # Prevent unsafe RPC calls
no-igd=1 # Disable UPnP port mapping
# Slow but reliable db writes
db-sync-mode=safe
# Emergency checkpoints set by MoneroPulse operators will be enforced to workaround potential consensus bugs
# Check https://monerodocs.org/infrastructure/monero-pulse/ for explanation and trade-offs
enforce-dns-checkpointing=1
out-peers=64 # This will enable much faster sync and tx awareness; the default 8 is suboptimal nowadays
in-peers=1024 # The default is unlimited; we prefer to put a cap on this
limit-rate-up=1048576 # 1048576 kB/s == 1GB/s; a raise from default 2048 kB/s; contribute more to p2p network
limit-rate-down=1048576 # 1048576 kB/s == 1GB/s; a raise from default 8192 kB/s; allow for faster initial sync
monero-wallet-cli.conf
This config is tailored for desktop usage on stagenet.
# $HOME/.bitmonero/stagenet/monero-wallet-cli.conf
# Pick network
stagenet=1
# Connect to a remote full node
daemon-address=monero-stagenet.exan.tech:38081

# Log file
log-file=/tmp/monero-wallet-cli.log
# wallet-file=/home/YOUR-USER/.bitmonero/stagenet/wallets/MoneroExampleStagenetWallet
