Configuration
Understand GORMES_HOME, config.toml, dotenv secrets, and local state.
Configuration
Gormes uses a native home directory. GORMES_HOME wins; otherwise Gormes defaults to ~/.gormes.
gormes config path
gormes config env-path
gormes config show
gormes config checkDefault paths:
| Item | Default |
|---|---|
| Config | ~/.gormes/config.toml |
| Secrets dotenv | ~/.gormes/.env |
| Sessions DB | ~/.gormes/sessions.db |
| Memory DB | ~/.gormes/memory.db |
| Log | ~/.gormes/gormes.log |
Use gormes config set for supported keys. Secret-like keys are routed to .env instead of config.toml.
