It may be placed in any of the following locations by default: The same directory as the getwtxt executable /usr/local/getwtxt/ /etc/ /usr/local/etc/ The paths are searched in that order. The first configuration file found is used by getwtxt, while the locations further down are ignored. Multiple configuration files may be used, however, with the '-c' command line flag. The path passed to getwtxt via '-c' may be relative or absolute. For example, both of the following are allowed: ./getwtxt -c myconfig.json ./getwtxt -c /etc/ExtraConfigsDir/mysecondconfig.toml The supported configuration types are: YAML, TOML, JSON, HCL The configuration file contains several options used to customize your instance of getwtxt. None are required, they will simply use their default value unless otherwise specified. ListenPort: Defines the port getwtxt should bind to. Default: 9001 DatabaseType: The type of back-end getwtxt should use to store registry data. Currently, only leveldb is available, with more options in development. Default: leveldb DatabasePath: The location of the LevelDB structure used by getwtxt to back up registry data. This can be a relative or absolute path. Default: getwtxt.db AssetsDirectory: This is the directory where getwtxt can find style.css and tmpl/index.html -- the stylesheet for the landing page and the landing page template, respectively. Default: assets StdoutLogging: Boolean used to determine whether getwtxt should send logging output to stdout. This is useful for debugging, but you should probably save your logs once your instance is running. Default: false LogFile: The location of getwtxt's log file. This, like DatabasePath, can be relative or absolute. Default: getwtxt.log DatabasePushInterval: The interval on which getwtxt will push registry data from the in-memory cache to the on-disk LevelDB database. The following time suffixes may be used: s, m, h Default: 5m StatusFetchInterval: The interval on which getwtxt will crawl all users' twtxt files to retrieve new statuses. The same time suffixes as DatabasePushInterval may be used. Default: 1h Instance: Signifies the start of instance-specific meta information. The following are used only for the summary and use information displayed by the default web page for getwtxt. If desired, the assets/tmpl/index.html file may be customized. Keep in mind that in YAML, the following options must be preceded by two spaces so that they are interpreted as sub-options. SiteName: The name of your getwtxt instance. Default: getwtxt URL: The publicly-accessible URL of your getwtxt instance. Default: https://twtxt.example.com OwnerName: Your name. Default: Anonymous Microblogger Email: Your email address. Default: nobody@knows Description: A short description of your getwtxt instance or your site. As this likely includes whitespace, it should be in double-quotes. This can include XHTML or HTML line breaks if desired:

Default: "A fast, resilient twtxt registry server written in Go!" :: Customizing the Landing Page :: If you like, feel free to customize the landing page template provided at assets/tmpl/index.html It must be standard HTML or XHTML. There are a few special tags available to use that will be replaced with specific values when the template is parsed by getwtxt. Values are derived from the "Instance" section of the configuration file, except for the version of getwtxt used. The following will be in the form of: {{.TemplateTag}} What it will be replaced with when the template is processed and the landing page is served to a visitor. The surrounding double braces and prefixed period are required if you choose to use these tags in your modified landing page. The tags themselves are not required; access to them is provided simply for convenience. {{.Vers}} The version of getwtxt used. Does not include the preceding 'v'. Ex: 0.2.0 {{.Name}} The name of the instance. {{.Owner}} The instance owner's name. {{.Mail}} Email address used for contacting the instance owner if the need arises. {{.Desc}} Short description placed in the configuration file. This is why HTML tags are allowed. {{.URL}} The publicly-accessible URL of your instance. In the default landing page, example API calls are shown using this URL for the convenience of the user. :: Interacting with the Registry :: The registry API is rather simple, and can be interacted with via the command line using cURL. Example output of the calls will not be provided. Pseudo line-breaks will be represented with a backslash. Examples with line-breaks are not syntactically correct and will be rejected by cURL. Please concatenate the example calls without the backslash. This is only present to maintain consistent formatting for this manual text. Ex: /api/plain/users\ ?q=FOO Should be: /api/plain/users?q=FOO All queries (every call except adding users) accept the ?page=N parameter, where N > 0. The output is provided in groups of 20 results. For example, indexed at 1, ?page=2 (or &page=2 if it is not the first parameter) appended to any query will return results 21 through 40. If the page requested will exceed the bounds of the query output, the last 20 query results are returned.
