Configuration

You can find the configuration files (by default) in src/client/config.js and src/server/config.js.

[info] This list is not complete. See src/config.js in @meeseOS/client and src/config.js in @meeseOS/server for advanced settings.

[info] Using NODE_ENV=production will disable any development features that are enabled by default.

Caveats

By default all of your settings are merged into the default configuration from the client/server configuration.

To override for example an array instead of appending to it, update your bootstrap with the following:

const meeseOS = new Core(config, {
  omit: ["vfs.mountpoints"]
});

You can add proxies via the configuration. See express-http-proxy for options.

{
  proxy: [{
    source: String | RegExp,
    destination: String,
    options: {}
  }]
}

You can provide configuration via a JSON dotenv (.env.json) file to make make it dynamic.

This applies to both the client and the server:

MEESEOS_STANDALONE=true

And in your src/client/config.js file:

{
  standalone: process.env.MEESEOS_STANDALONE === "true"
}
