Configuring Parity Ethereum

Parity can be configured using either the CLI options or a config file. Should the CLI flags and the config file disagree about a setting, the CLI takes precedence.

You can list all CLI options by running $parity --help. The vast majority of CLI options map to a setting in the TOML file, for example --mode-timeout 500 can be set by creating a config file:

[parity]
mode_timeout = 500

Config File

Parity can be configured using a TOML file. The file can be generated using the Parity Config Generator. To start parity with a config file, the file needs to be located in:

  • Windows: %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Parity\Ethereum\config.toml
  • Linux: ~/.local/share/io.parity.ethereum/config.toml
  • macOS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/io.parity.ethereum/config.toml

To use a custom path run $ parity --config path/to/config.toml.

Presets

Parity can be launched with a preset configuration file using --config flag with one of the following value:

  • dev: uses dev chain specifications with Instant-seal consensus engine. The gas price is set to 0.
  • dev-insecure: uses the same configuration as dev, plus sets the flag no_consensus, allows all RPC APIs and accepts all RPC interfaces and hosts, as well as all IPFS hosts.
  • insecure: uses the Mainnet default configuration, plus sets the flag no_consensus, allows all RPC APIs and accepts all RPC interfaces and hosts, as well as all IPFS hosts.
  • mining: uses the Mainnet default configuration, plus increases the number of peers to min 50 and max 100, it disables the Dapps and IPC interface. It forces the sealing of blocks with a minimum of 4 seconds interval, forces the reseal for any new transaction (external or local), reduces the transaction queue size to 2048 while increasing the cache size to 256 MB and setting the trace logging level for the miner and own_tx modules.
  • non-standard-ports: sets the client to listen to the port 30305 and 8645 for RPC connections.

CLI Options for Parity Ethereum client

Operating Options:
    --no-download
        Normally new releases will be downloaded ready for
        updating. This disables it. Not recommended.

    --no-consensus
        Force the binary to run even if there are known issues
        regarding consensus. Not recommended.

    --light
        Experimental: run in light client mode. Light clients
        synchronize a bare minimum of data and fetch necessary
        data on-demand from the network. Much lower in storage,
        potentially higher in bandwidth. Has no effect with
        subcommands.

    --no-hardcoded-sync
        By default, if there is no existing database the light
        client will automatically jump to a block hardcoded in
        the chain's specifications. This disables this feature.

    --force-direct
        Run the originally installed version of Parity, ignoring
        any updates that have since been installed.

    --mode=[MODE]
        Set the operating mode. MODE can be one of: last - Uses
        the last-used mode, active if none; active - Parity
        continuously syncs the chain; passive - Parity syncs
        initially, then sleeps and wakes regularly to resync;
        dark - Parity syncs only when the JSON-RPC is active;
        offline - Parity doesn't sync. (default: last)

    --mode-timeout=[SECS]
        Specify the number of seconds before inactivity timeout
        occurs when mode is dark or passive (default: 300)

    --mode-alarm=[SECS]
        Specify the number of seconds before auto sleep reawake
        timeout occurs when mode is passive (default: 3600)

    --auto-update=[SET]
        Set a releases set to automatically update and install.
        SET can be one of: all - All updates in the our release
        track; critical - Only consensus/security updates; none
        - No updates will be auto-installed. (default: critical)

    --auto-update-delay=[NUM]
        Specify the maximum number of blocks used for randomly
        delaying updates. (default: 100)

    --auto-update-check-frequency=[NUM]
        Specify the number of blocks between each auto-update
        check. (default: 20)

    --release-track=[TRACK]
        Set which release track we should use for updates. TRACK
        can be one of: stable - Stable releases; beta - Beta
        releases; nightly - Nightly releases (unstable); testing
        - Testing releases (do not use); current - Whatever
        track this executable was released on. (default:
        current)

    --secretstore-path=[PATH]
        Specify directory where Secret Store should save its
        data. (default: $BASE/secretstore)

Sealing/Mining Options:
    --force-sealing
        Force the node to author new blocks as if it were always
        sealing/mining.

    --reseal-on-uncle
        Force the node to author new blocks when a new uncle
        block is imported.

    --remove-solved
        Move solved blocks from the work package queue instead
        of cloning them. This gives a slightly faster import
        speed, but means that extra solutions submitted for the
        same work package will go unused.

    --tx-queue-no-unfamiliar-locals
        Local transactions sent through JSON-RPC (HTTP,
        WebSockets, etc) will be treated as 'external' if the
        sending account is unknown.

    --tx-queue-no-early-reject
        Disables transaction queue optimization to early reject
        transactions below minimal effective gas price. This
        allows local transactions to always enter the pool,
        despite it being full, but requires additional ecrecover
        on every transaction.

    --refuse-service-transactions
        Always refuse service transactions.

    --infinite-pending-block
        Pending block will be created with maximal possible gas
        limit and will execute all transactions in the queue.
        Note that such block is invalid and should never be
        attempted to be mined.

    --no-persistent-txqueue
        Don't save pending local transactions to disk to be
        restored whenever the node restarts.

    --stratum
        Run Stratum server for miner push notification.

    --reseal-on-txs=[SET]

        transaction; ext - reseal only on a new external
        transaction; all - reseal on all new transactions.
        (default: own)

    --reseal-min-period=[MS]
        Specify the minimum time between reseals from incoming
        transactions. MS is time measured in milliseconds.

    --work-queue-size=[ITEMS]
        Specify the number of historical work packages which are
        kept cached lest a solution is found for them later.

        unusable solutions. (default: 20)

    --relay-set=[SET]
        Set of transactions to relay. SET may be: cheap - Relay
        any transaction in the queue (this may include invalid
        transactions); strict - Relay only executed transactions
        (this guarantees we don't relay invalid transactions,
        but means we relay nothing if not mining); lenient -
        Same as strict when mining, and cheap when not.
        (default: cheap)

    --usd-per-tx=[USD]
        Amount of USD to be paid for a basic transaction. The
        minimum gas price is set accordingly. (default: 0.0001)

    --usd-per-eth=[SOURCE]
        USD value of a single ETH. SOURCE may be either an
        amount in USD, a web service or 'auto' to use each web
        service in turn and fallback on the last known good
        value. (default: auto)

    --price-update-period=[T]
        T will be allowed to pass between each gas price update.
        T may be daily, hourly, a number of seconds, or a time

        due to transaction volume. (default: 10000000)

    --tx-queue-mem-limit=[MB]
        Maximum amount of memory that can be used by the
        transaction queue. Setting this parameter to 0 disables
        limiting. (default: 4)

    --tx-queue-size=[LIMIT]
        Maximum amount of transactions in the queue (waiting to
        be included in next block). (default: 8192)

    --tx-queue-per-sender=[LIMIT]
        Maximum number of transactions per sender in the queue.
        By default it's 1% of the entire queue, but not less
        than 16.

        Prioritization strategy used to order transactions in
        the queue. S may be: gas_price - Prioritize txs with
        high gas price (default: gas_price)
