hey bestie, welcome to the IPMIDETECT.CONF(5) page from the LIBIPMIDETECT manual 💖 this one is short but lowkey important, so let’s get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ipmidetect.conf — specify alternate default values for the ipmidetect library 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so through a configuration file, system administrators may override the default values used in the ipmidetect_load_data(3) API function. fr fr, that’s the whole vibe.

The configuration file is stored at /etc/freeipmi//ipmidetect.conf. yes, bestie, that path has a double slash — keep it exactly as written 💅

✨ CONFIGURATION OPTIONS ✨

The following are a list of configuration options that can be specified in the configuration file. Each configuration option must be listed on a separate line. Arguments for an option are separated by any amount of whitespace. Multiple arguments are also separated by whitespace. Comments can be marked by using the pound sign ("#") character, and lines can be continued on the next using backslash ("\").

  • hostnames host1 host2 host3 ... — Specify the hostname of the server to reach. Multiple hostnames can be listed up to a maximum of 8. 👑
  • port num — Specify the port. 🔥
  • timeout_len seconds — Specify the timeout length in seconds. ⏳
