## Foreword

**Do not edit configuration options in index.php! Your changes would be lost.** 

Once your Shaarli instance is installed, the file `data/config.json.php` is generated:
* it contains all settings in JSON format, and can be edited to customize values
* it defines which [plugins](Plugin-System) are enabled[](.html)
* its values override those defined in `index.php`
* it is wrap in a PHP comment to prevent anyone accessing it, regardless of server configuration

## File and directory permissions

The server process running Shaarli must have:

- `read` access to the following resources:
    - PHP scripts: `index.php`, `application/*.php`, `plugins/*.php`
    - 3rd party PHP and Javascript libraries: `inc/*.php`, `inc/*.js`
    - static assets:
        - CSS stylesheets: `inc/*.css`
        - `images/*`
    - RainTPL templates: `tpl/*.html`
- `read`, `write` and `execution` access to the following directories:
    - `cache` - thumbnail cache
    - `data` - link data store, configuration options
    - `pagecache` - Atom/RSS feed cache
    - `tmp` - RainTPL page cache

On a Linux distribution:

- the web server user will likely be `www` or `http` (for Apache2)
- it will be a member of a group of the same name: `www:www`, `http:http`
- to give it access to Shaarli, either:
    - unzip Shaarli in the default web server location (usually `/var/www/`) and set the web server user as the owner
    - put users in the same group as the web server, and set the appropriate access rights
- if you have a domain / subdomain to serve Shaarli, [configure the server](Server-configuration) accordingly[](.html)

## Configuration

In `data/config.json.php`.

See also [Plugin System](Plugin-System.html).

### Credentials
 
_These settings should not be edited_

- **login**: Login username.  
- **hash**: Generated password hash.  
- **salt**: Password salt.

### General

- **title**: Shaarli's instance title.  
- **header_link**: Link to the homepage.  
- **links_per_page**: Number of shaares displayed per page.  
- **timezone**: See [the list of supported timezones](http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php).  
- **enabled_plugins**: List of enabled plugins.

### Security

- **session_protection_disabled**: Disable session cookie hijacking protection (not recommended). 
  It might be useful if your IP adress often changes.  
- **ban_after**: Failed login attempts before being IP banned.  
- **ban_duration**: IP ban duration in seconds.  
- **open_shaarli**: Anyone can add a new link while logged out if enabled.  
- **trusted_proxies**: List of trusted IP which won't be banned after failed login attemps. Useful if Shaarli is behind a reverse proxy.  
- **allowed_protocols**: List of allowed protocols in shaare URLs or markdown-rendered descriptions. Useful if you want to store `javascript:` links (bookmarklets) in Shaarli (default: `["ftp", "ftps", "magnet"]`).

### Resources

- **data_dir**: Data directory.  
- **datastore**: Shaarli's links database file path.  
- **history**: Shaarli's operation history file path.
- **updates**: File path for the ran updates file.  
- **log**: Log file path.  
- **update_check**: Last update check file path.  
- **raintpl_tpl**: Templates directory.  
- **raintpl_tmp**: Template engine cache directory.  
- **thumbnails_cache**: Thumbnails cache directory.  
- **page_cache**: Shaarli's internal cache directory.  
- **ban_file**: Banned IP file path.

### Updates

- **check_updates**: Enable or disable update check to the git repository.  
- **check_updates_branch**: Git branch used to check updates (e.g. `stable` or `master`).  
- **check_updates_interval**: Look for new version every N seconds (default: every day).

### Privacy

- **default_private_links**: Check the private checkbox by default for every new link.  
- **hide_public_links**: All links are hidden while logged out.  
- **hide_timestamps**: Timestamps are hidden.

### Feed

- **rss_permalinks**: Enable this to redirect RSS links to Shaarli's permalinks instead of shaared URL.  
- **show_atom**: Display ATOM feed button.

### Thumbnail

- **enable_thumbnails**: Enable or disable thumbnail display.  
- **enable_localcache**: Enable or disable local cache.

### Redirector

- **url**: Redirector URL, such as `anonym.to`.  
- **encode_url**: Enable this if the redirector needs encoded URL to work properly.

## Additional configuration

The `playvideos` plugin may require that you adapt your server's 
[Content Security Policy](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/blob/master/plugins/playvideos/README.md#troubleshooting) 
configuration to work properly.
