i2pd configuration
==================

i2pd can be configured via command-line arguments and config files. 
Options are the same, for example, running i2pd with argument `--port=10123` and setting
option `port = 10123` in config file will have same effect.

There are two separate config files `i2pd.conf` and `tunnels.conf`. `i2pd.conf` is main configuration file, where
you configure all options. `tunnels.conf` is I2P tunnel configuration file, where you configure I2P hidden services
and client tunnels for you needs. `tunnels.conf` options are documented [here](tunnels.md).

INI-like, syntax is the following : <key> = <value>.
Comments are "#", not ";" as you may expect. See [boost ticket](https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/808)
All command-line parameters are allowed as keys, but note for those which contains dot (.).

For example:

i2pd.conf:

    # comment
    log = true
    ipv6 = true
    # settings for specific module
    [httpproxy]
    port = 4444
    # ^^ this will be --httproxy.port= in cmdline
    # another comment
    [sam]
    enabled = true

See also commented config with examples of all options in ``docs/i2pd.conf``.

Options specified on the command line take precedence over those in the config file.
If you are upgrading your very old router (< 2.3.0) see also [this](config_opts_after_2.3.0.md) page.

Available options

Run `./i2pd --help` to show builtin help message (default value of option will be shown in braces)
