# 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 `--config-path` argument:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo cryptic-net daemon --config-path /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](getting-started.md) if
|
|
not), and you will need to modify the service file accordingly.
