Configuration

There are two ways to configure what an Ethersync daemon will do.

Command line flags

You can provide the options on the command line, after ethersync daemon:

• --peer <multiaddr> specifies which peer you want to try connect to.
• --secret <passphrase> specifies the shared secret passphrase. Peers must use the same passphrase to be allowed to connect.
• --port <port for your daemon> specifies which port the daemon should listen for incoming connections.

Configuration files

If you keep starting Ethersync with the same options, you can also put any of these options into a configuration file at .ethersync/config:

peer = <multiaddr you want to try connecting to>
secret = <the shared secret>
port = <port for your daemon>
