Configuration

Installed From Source

If you have built websurfx from source then the configuration file will be located under project directory (codebase) at websurfx/

Note

If you have built websurfx with unstable/rolling/edge branch then you can copy the configuration file from websurfx/config.lua located under project directory (codebase) to ~/.config/websurfx/ and make the changes there and rerun the websurfx server. This is only available from unstable/rolling/edge version.

Installed From Package

If you have installed websurfx using the package manager of your Linux distro then the default configuration file will be located at /etc/xdg/websurfx/. You can copy the default config to ~/.config/websurfx/ and make the changes there and rerun the websurfx server.
