@ -5,6 +5,8 @@ The configuration is based on the file
This file also contains documentation for all the available options. To override the defaults, you
can copy the options you want to change into your local `config.hjson` file.
To use a different `config.hjson` location than the current directory, set the environment variable `LEMMY_CONFIG_LOCATION`.
Additionally, you can override any config files with environment variables. These have the same
name as the config options, and are prefixed with `LEMMY_`. For example, you can override the
`database.password` with `LEMMY_DATABASE__POOL_SIZE=10`.
