CLI‑cookie directory

--cookie-directory

This flag was removed in v0.20.

Use top-level data_dir in TOML for a persistent override. Docker still uses KEI_DATA_DIR=/config as runtime glue.

kei sync --config ~/.config/kei/config.toml

data_dir = "/path/to/sessions"

Details

• Default: ~/.config/kei/
• Type: String (path)
• Replacement: top-level data_dir in TOML

The directory stores:

• Session cookies
• Trust tokens (from 2FA)
• Account authentication state
• SQLite state database
• Encrypted credential key file

Files are created with 0o600 permissions. Tilde (~) is expanded to your home directory.

Tip

If migrating from the Python version, that tool stores sessions at ~/.pyicloud/ in LWPCookieJar format, which is not compatible with kei. You will need to re-authenticate.
