Craftd:Configuration

After building and installing craftd, you will need to move the config files into place. craftd looks for the main config file in the following order:

• ~/.craftd/craftd.conf
• /etc/craftd/craftd.conf
• /usr/local/etc/craftd/craftd.conf
• Current working directory (useful for developers)

By default, these are located in $prefix/etc/craftd/ as *.dist files so as not to overwrite existing configs when you install updates.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash"> cd /usr/local/etc mv craftd.conf.dist craftd.conf mv motd.conf.dist motd.conf </syntaxhighlight>

A config file is necessary, but it can consist of nothing more than {} if you wish to accept the defaults. Options may be omitted, in which case the defaults will be used. If the file fails to parse, an error message will be logged.
