Command-line options override values set in the configuration file. +.TP +The configuration file is a list of 'setting=value' pairs, one per line, with optional comments starting with the '#' character. +.TP +The configuration file is not automatically created; you can create it using your favorite plain-text editor. By default, bitcoind(1) will look for a file named bitcoin.conf(5) in the bitcoin data directory, but both the data directory and the configuration file path may be changed using the '-datadir' and '-conf' command-line arguments. +.SH LOCATION +bitcoin.conf should be located in $HOME/.bitcoin +.SH NETWORK-RELATED SETTINGS +.TP +.TP +\fBtestnet=\fR[\fI'1'\fR|\fI'0'\fR] +Enable or disable run on the test network instead of the real *bitcoin* network. +.TP +\fBproxy=\fR\fI'127.0.0.1:9050'\fR +Connect via a socks4 proxy. +.TP +\fBaddnode=\fR\fI'10.0.0.2:8333'\fR +Use as many *addnode=* settings as you like to connect to specific peers. +.TP +\fBconnect=\fR\fI'10.0.0.1:8333'\fR +Use as many *connect=* settings as you like to connect ONLY to specific peers. +.TP +\fBnoirc=\fR[\fI'1'\fR|\fI'0'\fR] +Use or Do not use Internet Relay Chat (irc.lfnet.org #bitcoin channel) to find other peers. +.TP +\fRmaxconnections=\fR\fI'value'\fR +Maximum number of inbound+outbound connections. +.SH JSON-RPC OPTIONS +.TP +\fBserver=\fR[\fI'1'\fR|\fI'0'\fR] +Tells *bitcoin* to accept or not accept JSON-RPC commands. +.TP +\fBrpcuser=\fR\fI'username'\fR +You must set *rpcuser* to secure the JSON-RPC api. +.TP +\fBrpcpassword=\fR\fI'password'\fR +You must set *rpcpassword* to secure the JSON-RPC api. +.TP +\fBrpctimeout=\fR\fI'30'\fR +How many seconds *bitcoin* will wait for a complete RPC HTTP request, after the HTTP connection is established. +.TP +\fBrpcallowip=\fR\fI'192.168.1.*'\fR +By default, only RPC connections from localhost are allowed.
