Preface¶

Configuration File Path¶

zrepl searches for its main configuration file in the following locations (in that order):

If set, the location specified via the global --config flag
/etc/zrepl/zrepl.yml
/usr/local/etc/zrepl/zrepl.yml

The examples in the Tutorial or the config/samples/ directory should provide a good starting point.

Runtime Directories¶

zrepl requires runtime directories for various UNIX sockets — they are documented in the config file. Your package maintainer / init script should take care of creating them. Alternatively, for default settings, the following should to the trick.

mkdir -p /var/run/zrepl/stdinserver
chmod -R 0700 /var/run/zrepl

Validating¶

The config can be validated using the zrepl configcheck subcommand.
