Nodeos

Configuration

Suggest Edits

nodeos can be configured using either the command line interface (CLI) options or a configuration file, config.ini. All the CLI options can be found by running $ nodeos --help.

Each CLI option maps to a setting in config.ini, for example --plugin eosio::chain_api_plugin can be set by adding plugin = eosio::chain_api_plugin to config.ini.

A custom config.ini file can be used by executing $ nodeos --config path/to/config.ini.

Configuration File Location

config.ini can be found at the following locations:

  • Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/eosio/nodeos/config
  • Linux: ~/.local/share/eosio/nodeos/config
