Creating a daemon.yml File

The cryptic-net daemon process has generally sane defaults and does not need to be configured for most users. This document describes how to use the daemon.yml file to handle those cases where configuration is necessary.

Create daemon.yml

First, create a daemon.yml file. You can create a new daemon.yml with default values filled in by doing:

cryptic-net daemon --dump-config > /path/to/daemon.yml

If you open that file in a text editor you can view all default values that cryptic-net daemon ships with, as well as documentation for all configurable parameters. Feel free to edit this file as needed.

Using daemon.yml

With the daemon.yml created and configured, you can configure your daemon process to use it by passing it as the -c argument:

sudo cryptic-net daemon -c /path/to/daemon.yml

If you are an operator then your host should be running its cryptic-net daemon process in systemd (see Getting Started if not), and you will need to modify the service file accordingly.
