The config file is processed +in [`lib/config/index.js`](lib/config/index.js) - so this is the first +place to look if anything is missing not obvious from this document. + +Environment variables take precedence over configurations from the config files. +To get started, it is a good idea to take the `config.json.example` and copy it +to `config.json` before filling in your own details. + +[//]: # (TODO split up into chunks) + + +| variables | example values | description | +| --------- | ------ | ----------- | +| `debug` | `true` or `false` | set debug mode, show more logs | +| `domain` | `localhost` | domain name | +| `urlPath` | `codimd` | sub URL path, like `www.example.com/` | +| `host` | `localhost` | host to listen on | +| `port` | `80` | web app port | +| `path` | `/var/run/codimd.sock` | path to UNIX domain socket to listen on (if specified, `host` and `port` are ignored) | +| `loglevel` | `info` | Defines what kind of logs are provided to stdout. | +| `allowOrigin` | `['localhost']` | domain name whitelist | +| `useSSL` | `true` or `false` | set to use SSL server (if `true`, will auto turn on `protocolUseSSL`) | +| `hsts` | `{"enable": true, "maxAgeSeconds": 31536000, "includeSubdomains": true, "preload": true}` | [HSTS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security) options to use with HTTPS (default is the example value, max age is a year) | +| `csp` | `{"enable": true, "directives": {"scriptSrc": "trustworthy-scripts.example.com"}, "upgradeInsecureRequests": "auto", "addDefaults": true}` | Configures [Content Security Policy](https://helmetjs.github.io/docs/csp/). Directives are passed to Helmet - see [their documentation](https://helmetjs.github.io/docs/csp/) for more information on the format. Some defaults are added to the configured values so that the application doesn't break. To disable this behaviour, set `addDefaults` to `false`. Further, if `usecdn` is on, some CDN locations are allowed too. By default (`auto`), insecure (HTTP) requests are upgraded to HTTPS via CSP if `useSSL` is on.
