The Milagro D-TA can be configured either by editing its configuration file or using command line flags.

:::important running a D-TA as a principal with an external master fiduciary (as described below) is not currently supported but will be in the next release. :::

Configuration File

The config file is located in ~/.milagro/config.yaml

:::important this configuration method is not yet supported when running in Docker. Please use the command line flags described below. :::

The default values are shown below with some explanatory comments:

// http ports

  listenAddr: :5556
  metricsAddr: :5557

// You can secure the endpoints with an oAuth 2.0 compatible identity provider
  oidcProvider: ""
  oidcClientID: ""
  oidcClientKey: ""

// If the endpoints are accessed from a web app put address here
  corsAllow: http://localhost:3000

node:

// D-TA can be "principal", "master fiduciary" or "multi" 
  nodeType: multi

// If D-TA is running as principal tell it where its Master Fiduciary is 
// (if nodeType is "multi" use localhost on same port)
  masterFiduciaryServer: http://localhost:5556

// IPFS Hash Address of Master Fiduciary's Identity document 
// (if nodeType is "multi"use nodeID (see below))
  masterFiduciaryNodeID: QmfZkZ8WR9N2nVg8rktbR2n7hBFN3HmYuFJeVuS3gcT3Mz
