Configurations

This document provides instructions for loading configuration file for Infinity and descriptions of each configuration entry.

Load configuration file​

To load a configuration file when you start up Infinity using Docker:

  1. Mount the directory for the configuration file to inside the Docker container.

  2. When running Docker, specify the configuration file path using the -f option. For example:

    docker run -d --name infinity -v /var/infinity/:/var/infinity --ulimit nofile=500000:500000 --network=host infiniflow/infinity:nightly -f /var/infinity/infinity_conf.toml
