Configuration

cuprated reads its configuration file Cuprated.toml on startup - this is in the TOML file format.

cuprated will try to look for Cuprated.toml in the follow places, in order:

Cuprated.toml

This is the default configuration file cuprated creates and uses.

If cuprated is started with no --options, then the configuration used will be equivalent to this config file.

Some values may be different for your exact system, generate the config with cuprated --generate-config to see the defaults for your system.

## All these config values can be set to
## their default by commenting them out with '#'.
##
## Some values are already commented out,
