Advanced Configuration

mathisono edited this page Jun 8, 2026 · 3 revisions

Crow offers a number of advanced configuration options not available via the UI. For most people there's no need to modify these; but in some cases making changes is necessary.

crow.conf.override

Crow is configured using the configuration files crow.conf and crow.conf.override. Both files are located on the node in the /usr/local/crow directory. The user should only change the crow.conf.override file as the other will be overwritten whenever Crow is updated.

If crow.conf.override does not exist when you need to modify if, you should create it first. By default the contents should be:

{
}

as this is a JSON file.
