Let's initialize our new server's configuration files with some sensible defaults by running the bundle bin/init
script.
This script will not overwrite any existing configuration files.
Now let's check the contents of the config/
directory using the ls
command:
If everything was successfully initialized you should see three configuration files overleaf.rc
, variables.env
and version
. These are the main server configuration files and allow you to customize how your server operates and how your users interact with your instance.
overleaf.rc
The main top-level configuration file.
variables.env
Environment variables loaded into the Docker container.
version
The version of the Docker image to use.
