Configuration 5

To configure LibreTime, you need to edit the /etc/libretime/config.yml file. This page describe the available options to configure your installation.

Don't forget to restart the services after you made changes to the configuration file:

sudo systemctl restart libretime.target

:::tip

When upgrading, if yq is installed on your system, you can easily keep your configuration file schema in sync, without losing your configuration values:

# Load your existing configuration values and merge them on top
# of the default configuration file
yq '. *= (load("/etc/libretime/config.yml") | ... comments="")' \
  installer/config.yml > update-config.yml

# Check what has been updated
diff -y /etc/libretime/config.yml update-config.yml

# Move the updated configuration file in place
sudo cp update-config.yml /etc/libretime/config.yml

:::

After editing the storage.path field, make sure to update the LibreTime Nginx configuration file with the new value.

In the example below, we are changing the path from /srv/libretime to /mnt/data:

  ...

  # Internal path for serving media files from the API.
  location /api/_media {
