Configuration options
You can either use a config.yml
file in the root directory of vikunja or set all config option with
environment variables. If you have both, the value set in the config file is used.
Variables are nested in the config.yml
, these nested variables become VIKUNJA_FIRST_CHILD
when configuring via
environment variables. So setting
{{< highlight bash >}} export VIKUNJA_FIRST_CHILD=true {{< /highlight >}}
is the same as defining it in a config.yml
like so:
{{< highlight yaml >}} first: child: true {{< /highlight >}}
Config file locations
Vikunja will search on various places for a config file:
- Next to the location of the binary
- In the
service.rootpath
location set in a config (remember you can set config arguments via environment variables) - In
/etc/vikunja
- In
~/.config/vikunja
Default configuration with explanations
This is the same as the config.yml.sample
file you'll find in the root of vikunja.
