ConfigFile

VDMS Configuration File

VDMS uses a configuration file (written in JSON) that can be specified when starting the server by using the -cfg flag:

./vdms -cfg config-vdms.json

If no configuration file is specified, VDMS will try to open the defaul (config-vdms.json), and will fail to initiate if the file is not found.

Parameters

All the parameters in the configuration file are optional, as VDMS has default values for all of them.

Param	Explanation	Default
port	TCP port for incoming connections	55555
max_simultaneous_clients	Number of max simultaneous connections open	500
db_root_path	Path to the root folder where all filed/objects will be stored	db

blobs_path	Path to folder where blobs will be stored	blobs (db/blobs)
