shuo-docs/Configuration.md

This part of the documentation will focus on the configuration of your Shou server. Start by locating the config.js file in the Shout folder.

To quickly open the config:

$ shout config

public

This setting can be either true or false. Public servers require no authentication. This is the default mode. Set to false to enable user login.

host

Listen to connections only from this host. Default 0.0.0.0 will allow connections from anyone.

port

The port to listen on.

You can override this setting by starting Shout like this:
shout start --port 80

theme

This setting should point to a stylesheet in your Shout folder. If you want to create your own theme, it's recommended that you add your own stylesheet to shout/client/themes/.

home

Use this setting to override the default HOME location. The home folder is where Shout will locate the users/ and cache/ folder. Leaving this field empty will default to ~/.shout/.

logs

Change how the logs will be stored. Remember that logging has to be turned on per user, in their own user.json.
