Configuration

Configuration files in ENiGMA½ are simple UTF-8 encoded HJSON files. HJSON is just like JSON but simplified and much more resilient to human error.

System Configuraiton

The main system configuration file, config.hjson both overrides defaults and provides additional configuration such as message areas. This file shoudl be created in ~/.config/enigma-bbs/config.hjson. Values found in core/config.js may be overridden by simply providing the object members you wish replace.

Example: System Name

core/config.js provides the default system name as follows:

general : {
  boardName : 'Another Fine ENiGMA½ System'
}

To override this for your own board, in config.hjson:

general: {
  boardName: Super Fancy BBS
}
