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.rootpathlocation 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.
{{< highlight yaml >}} service:
This token is used to verify issued JWT tokens.
Default is a random token which will be generated at each startup of vikunja.
(This means all already issued tokens will be invalid once you restart vikunja)
