💖 gnunet.conf 💖 — GNUnet configuration file

ok bestie, this is the File Formats Manual page for gnunet.conf, section 5, and it's genuinely a whole vibe. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gnunet.conf — GNUnet configuration file

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, a GNUnet setup usually has two little squads of processes: a bunch of service processes that run under a user called "gnunet", and a bunch of user-interface processes that run under your normal everyday account. two friend groups, basically.

the default hangout spot for the services config file is ~gnunet/.config/gnunet.conf. but — and this is the tea — normal users might also need read access to that file, so you might wanna instead put the service process config over in /etc/gnunet.conf. slay.

gnunet-setup(1) — which is part of gnunet-gtk — can edit this config for you, no cap.

the parts of GNUnet that run as a normal user can have config options too, and they read from $HOME/.config/gnunet.conf. that second config file is allowed to just skip any options that belong to the services. it's giving minimal effort, and honestly? valid.

the basic structure of the config file is this:

  • the file is split into sections.
  • every section begins with a token in square brackets. the current section ends when a new section starts, or when you hit end of file.
  • a section contains a number of options of the form "OPTION=VALUE".
  • whitespace surrounding the "=" token is stripped out — in other words, "OPTION = VALUE" and "OPTION=VALUE" are treated as equal.
  • empty lines and lines beginning with a "#" are treated as comments.
  • boolean values are given as "YES" and "NO".

almost all options are optional (iconic behaviour honestly). the tools just resort to reasonable defaults if an option isn't there. default values for all of the options live in the files in the $GNUNET_PREFIX/share/gnunet/config.d/ directory. a typical setup will work out of the box with those. see the examples section below for some common setups on top of that. 💅

🎀 Variable naming conventions and data types 🎀

boolean values for options are set via "YES" or "NO" values, without the double-quotes.

options which include "PATH" or "path" define a path on the file-system and can take additional variables in the path, such as $GNUNET_TMP.

section names, as listed more in detail below, are small letters only, enclosed by square brackets.

👑 GENERAL OPTIONS 👑

many options will be common between sections. they can be repeated under each section with different values. it's giving reusable.

the [PATHS] section is special. here it's possible to specify values for variables like "GNUNET_HOME". then, in all filenames that begin with "$GNUNET_HOME", the "$GNUNET_HOME" will be replaced with the respective value at runtime. the main use of this is to redefine "$GNUNET_HOME", which by default points to $HOME/.config/. by setting this variable, you can change the location where GNUnet stores its internal data. main character energy fr.

gnunet.conf also accepts the variable GNUNET_TMP, which we suggest you use in place of the absolute definition of /tmp. so instead of /tmp/foo you would write $GNUNET_TMP/foo. the usage of $GNUNET_TMP/foo will result in $TMPDIR/gnunet/foo, or $TMP/gnunet/foo, and finally, if TMPDIR is undefined, /tmp/gnunet/foo.

the following options are generic and shared by all services:

  • HOSTNAME — the hostname specifies the machine on which the service is running. this is usually "localhost".
  • BINARY — the filename that implements the service. for example "gnunet-service-ats".
  • IMMEDIATE_START — start the service always when the peer starts. set to YES for services that should always be launched, even if no other service explicitly needs them.
  • START_ON_DEMAND — set to YES to automatically start the service when it is requested by another service. YES for most GNUnet services.
  • NOARMBIND — set to YES to never have ARM bind to the respective socket. this option is mostly for debugging in situations where ARM cannot pass the pre-bound socket to the child due to interference from PREFIX-commands. this option is only effective in combination with IMMEDIATE_START being YES. NO by default.
  • PREFIX — PREFIX the given command (with its arguments) to the actual BINARY to be executed. useful to run certain services under special supervisors like strace, dtrace, or valgrind. typically used in combination with IMMEDIATE_START and NOARMBIND. empty by default.
  • ACCEPT_FROM — a semi-column separated list of IPv4 addresses that are allowed to use the service; usually 127.0.0.1.
  • ACCEPT_FROM6 — a semi-column separated list of IPv6 addresses that are allowed to use the service; usually ::1.
  • UNIXPATH — path to use for the UNIX domain socket for inter process communication with the service on POSIX systems.
  • UNIX_MATCH_UID — if UNIX domain sockets are used, set this to YES if only users with the same UID are allowed to access the service.
  • UNIX_MATCH_GID — if UNIX domain sockets are used, set this to YES if only users with the same GID are allowed to access the service.
  • RUN_PER_USER — end-users should never have to change the defaults GNUnet provides for this option.
    • YES — set to YES if this service should be run per-user.
    • NO — set to NO if this is a system service.

in the following sections, the absence of a default value is either expressed as "Default value:" followed by nothing, or the lack of this line. (mysterious. we love a little enigma 🙈)

🧚 ARM 🧚

  • PORT — Default value: 2087
  • HOSTNAME — Default value: localhost
  • BINARY — Default value: gnunet-service-arm
  • ACCEPT_FROM — Default value: 127.0.0.1;
  • ACCEPT_FROM6 — Default value: ::1;
  • UNIXPATH — special case, uses user runtime dir even for per-system service.
    • Default value: $GNUNET_USER_RUNTIME_DIR/gnunet-service-arm.sock
  • UNIX_MATCH_UID — Default value: YES
  • UNIX_MATCH_GID — Default value: YES
  • GLOBAL_POSTFIX — in the -l option, format characters from strftime(3) are allowed; in the GLOBAL_POSTFIX, "{}" stands for the name of the respective service. so the following example for this option would introduce per-service logging with a new log file each day. note that only the last 3 log files are preserved. example:
-l $GNUNET_CACHE_HOME/{}-%Y-%m-%d.log

Default value:

  • GLOBAL_PREFIX — Default value:
  • START_SYSTEM_SERVICES — if set to YES, ARM will only start services that are marked as system-level services (and we'll expect a second ARM to be run per-user to run user-level services). note that in this case you must have manually created a different configuration file with the user where at least this and the START_USER_SERVICES options differ.
  • START_USER_SERVICES — if set to YES, ARM will only start services that are marked as per-user services (and we'll expect a system user to run ARM to provide system-level services). per-user services enable better personalization and privilege separation and in particular ensures that personal data is stored under $HOME, which might be important in a multi-user system (or if $HOME is encrypted and /var/ is not).

note that if you have different ARM services for SYSTEM and USER, and you are not on UNIX, you need to change the PORT option for the USER ARM instances to some free port (counting down from 2085 should provide free ports).

  • RESOURCE_DIAGNOSTICS — file where we should log per-service resource consumption on exit.
    • Default value: resource.log
  • USERNAME — name of the user that will be used to provide the service.
    • Default value:
  • MAXBUF — Default value:
  • TIMEOUT — Default value:
  • DISABLEV6 — Default value:
  • BINDTO — Default value:
  • REJECT_FROM — Default value:
  • REJECT_FROM6 — Default value:
  • PREFIX — Default value:

📚 EXAMPLES 📚

okay so this example is the lil starter pack: it uses a server with a known peer list to get you going. Most of y'all are behind an IPv4 firewall, so NAT is on. Please remember to swap your IP for your actual external address, bestie. 💅

[hostlist]
OPTIONS = -b -e

[nat]
BEHIND_NAT = YES
ENABLE_UPNP = YES
DISABLEV6 = YES
EXTERNAL_ADDRESS = 157.166.249.10

[arm]
START_SYSTEM_SERVICES = YES
START_USER_SERVICES = NO

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

okay bestie, you made it to the end, let's get you some more reading material because you're clearly a scholar 🎀

  • env(1) — for when you want to vibe-check the environment variables, iykyk 🌸
  • gnunet-arm(1) — the ARM service, aka the one who actually starts and stops all your GNUnet services 👑
  • gnunet-setup(1) — the config wizard, for when hand-editing this file is giving too much 💀
  • strftime(3) — because a bunch of the time/date formats in this config speak strftime, no cap ✨

The full documentation for gnunet is maintained as a Texinfo manual. So like, this page? It's a vibe, but it's not the whole lore 💅

If the info(1) and gnunet programs are properly installed at your site, this command:

info gnunet

should give you access to the complete handbook 📖✨

and this one:

info gnunet-c-tutorial

will give you access to a tutorial for developers 🧚 (yes, you too can become a GNUnet dev, main character energy fr fr)

Depending on your installation, this information is also available in gnunet(7) and gnunet-c-tutorial(7) — so peek there too if the info command is ghosting you 🫶

🐛 BUGS 🐛

Found something cursed? Not me pretending I didn't see it — please actually tell the devs! 😭

Report bugs by using https://bugs.gnunet.org or by sending electronic mail to ⟨gnunet-developers@gnu.org⟩ 💌

ngl, bug reports are literally a love language. Don't be shy, they want to hear from you 🌈

and that's a wrap on GNUNET.CONF(5) bestie!! 💖 This page came from the Debian project, dated October 26, 2018, and it's the GNUNET.CONF(5) manual page in all its glory 🎀 go forth, edit your config, and slay ✨💅👑
