<h1 class="page-title">System Configuration</h1>
<h2 id="system-configuration">System Configuration</h2>
<p>The main system configuration file, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">config.hjson</code> both overrides defaults and provides additional configuration such as message areas. Defaults lived in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">core/config_default.js</code>.</p>
<p>The default path is <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">/enigma-bbs/config/config.hjson</code> though this can be overridden using the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">--config</code> parameter when invoking <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">main.js</code>.</p>
<p><img class="emoji" title=":information_source:" alt=":information_source:" src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/2139.png" height="20" width="20"> See also <a href="/enigma-bbs/configuration/config-files.html">Configuration Files</a>. Additionally <a href="/enigma-bbs/configuration/hjson.html">HJSON General Information</a> may be helpful for more information on the HJSON format.</p>
<h3 id="creating-a-configuration">Creating a Configuration</h3>
<p>Your initial configuration skeleton should be created using the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">oputil.js</code> command line utility. From your enigma-bbs root directory:</p>
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>./oputil.js config new
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>You will be asked a series of questions to create an initial configuration.</p>
<h3 id="overriding-defaults">Overriding Defaults</h3>
<p>The file <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">core/config_default.js</code> provides various defaults to the system that you can override via <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">config.hjson</code>. For example, the default system name is defined as follows:</p>
<div class="language-javascript highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="nx">general</span> <span class="p">:</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="nl">boardName</span> <span class="p">:</span> <span class="dl">'</span><span class="s1">Another Fine ENiGMA½ System</span><span class="dl">'</span>
<span class="p">}</span>
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>To override this for your own board, in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">config.hjson</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="language-hjson">general: {
boardName: Super Fancy BBS
}
</code></pre>
<p>(Note the very slightly <a href="/enigma-bbs/configuration/hjson.html">HJSON</a> different syntax. <strong>You can use standard JSON if you wish!</strong>)</p>
<p>While not everything that is available in your <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">config.hjson</code> file can be found defaulted in <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">core/config_default.js</code>, a lot is. <a href="https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs/blob/master/core/config_default.js">Poke around and see what you can find</a>!</p>
<h3 id="configuration-sections">Configuration Sections</h3>
<p>Below is a list of various configuration sections. There are many more, but this should get you started:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/enigma-bbs/configuration/acs.html">ACS</a></li>
