## Runtime Directories & UNIX Sockets
|
||||
|
||||
zrepl daemon creates various UNIX sockets to allow communicating with it:
|
||||
|
||||
* the `stdinserver` transport connects to a socket named after `client_identity` parameter
|
||||
* the `control` subcommand connects to a defined control socket
|
||||
|
||||
There is no further authentication on these sockets.
|
||||
Therefore we have to make sure they can only be created and accessed by `zrepl daemon`.
|
||||
|
||||
In fact, `zrepl daemon` will not bind a socket to a path in a directory that is world-accessible.
|
||||
|
||||
The directories can be configured in the main configuration file:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
global:
|
||||
control:
|
||||
sockpath: /var/run/zrepl/control
|
||||
serve:
|
||||
stdinserver:
|
||||
sockdir: /var/run/zrepl/stdinserver
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Super-Verbose Job Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
You have probably landed here because you opened an issue on GitHub and some developer told you to do this...
|
||||
So just read the annotated comments ;)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
|
||||
job:
|
||||
- name: ...
|
||||
...
|
||||
# JOB DEBUGGING OPTIONS
|
||||
# should be equal for all job types, but each job implements the debugging itself
|
||||
debug:
|
||||
conn: # debug the io.ReadWriteCloser connection
|
||||
read_dump: /tmp/connlog_read # dump results of Read() invocations to this file
|
||||
write_dump: /tmp/connlog_write # dump results of Write() invocations to this file
|
||||
rpc: # debug the RPC protocol implementation
|
||||
log: true # log output from rpc layer to the job log
|
||||
```

Connection dumps will almost certainly contain your or other's private data. Do not share it in a bug report.

## Configuration & Runtime Directories

### Main Configuration File

The main configuration file lives in either

zrepl searches for its main configuration file in the following locations (in that order):

|

* `/etc/zrepl/zrepl.yml`
|
||||
* `/usr/local/etc/zrepl/zrepl.yml`
|
||||
|
||||
The file locations are check in that order. Alternative locations must be specified using a command line flag.
|
||||
Copy a config from the [tutorial](/tutorial) or the `cmd/sampleconf` directory to one of these locations and customize it to your setup.

### Runtime Directories

**Source jobs** with `serve.type = stdinserver` require a private runtime directory. ([Why?]({{< relref "configuration/transports.md#stdinserver" >}}))
|

|

The default is `/var/run/zrepl/stdinserver` and it must only be accessible by the user
|

that runs `zrepl daemon` and `zrepl stdinserver`:

For default settings, the following should to the trick.

Check out the [configuration documentation]({{< relref "configuration/misc.md#runtime-directories-unix-sockets" >}}) for more information.
