lakeFS Server Configuration

Table of contents

  1. Reference
  2. lakeFS Enterprise
  3. Using Environment Variables
  4. Example Configurations

Configuring lakeFS is done using a YAML configuration file and/or environment variable. The configuration file’s location can be set with the ‘–config’ flag. If not specified, the first file found in the following order will be used:

  1. ./config.yaml
  2. $HOME/lakefs/config.yaml
  3. /etc/lakefs/config.yaml
  4. $HOME/.lakefs.yaml

Configuration items can each be controlled by an environment variable. The variable name will have a prefix of LAKEFS_, followed by the name of the configuration, replacing every ‘.’ with a ‘_’. Example: LAKEFS_LOGGING_LEVEL controls logging.level.

This reference uses . to denote the nesting of values.

Using Environment Variables

All the configuration variables can be set or overridden using environment variables. To set an environment variable, prepend LAKEFS_ to its name, convert it to upper case, and replace . with _:

For example, logging.format becomes LAKEFS_LOGGING_FORMAT, blockstore.s3.region becomes LAKEFS_BLOCKSTORE_S3_REGION, etc.

To set a value into a map[string]string type field, use the syntax key1=value1,key2=value2,...
