Configuration Reference
BackupX loads ./config.yaml from the working directory by default. You can override the path with --config. Every key can also be set via a BACKUPX_ prefixed environment variable.
Full config reference
server:
host: "0.0.0.0" # BACKUPX_SERVER_HOST
port: 8340 # BACKUPX_SERVER_PORT
mode: "release" # release | debug
external_url: "" # BACKUPX_SERVER_EXTERNAL_URL — public Master URL for Agent install scripts
database:
path: "./data/backupx.db" # BACKUPX_DATABASE_PATH — embedded SQLite
security:
jwt_secret: "" # BACKUPX_SECURITY_JWT_SECRET — auto-generated if empty
jwt_expire: "24h" # BACKUPX_SECURITY_JWT_EXPIRE
encryption_key: "" # AES-256-GCM key for storage config encryption
backup:
temp_dir: "/tmp/backupx" # BACKUPX_BACKUP_TEMP_DIR
max_concurrent: 2 # BACKUPX_BACKUP_MAX_CONCURRENT
retries: 3 # Per-upload rclone low-level retries
bandwidth_limit: "" # e.g. "10M" to cap transfers at 10 MB/s
log:
level: "info" # debug | info | warn | error
file: "./data/backupx.log"
Secret generation
If jwt_secret or encryption_key is empty on first start, BackupX generates a random value and persists it to the system_configs table. Keep a backup of data/backupx.db — losing it invalidates all existing encrypted storage configurations.
Environment variables
The environment wins when both file and env are set. All dot-paths become underscores and uppercase:
| Config key | Env variable |
|---|---|
server.port |
BACKUPX_SERVER_PORT |
server.external_url |
BACKUPX_SERVER_EXTERNAL_URL |
security.jwt_expire |
BACKUPX_SECURITY_JWT_EXPIRE |
log.level |
BACKUPX_LOG_LEVEL |
backup.max_concurrent |
BACKUPX_BACKUP_MAX_CONCURRENT |
backup.temp_dir |
BACKUPX_BACKUP_TEMP_DIR |
backup.bandwidth_limit |
BACKUPX_BACKUP_BANDWIDTH_LIMIT |
Master external URL
Set server.external_url when BackupX is behind Docker, Nginx, a load balancer, or any reverse proxy whose internal Host is not reachable by remote Agents:
server:
external_url: "https://backup.example.com"
This value is used when BackupX renders one-click Agent install scripts and docker-compose snippets. It must be reachable from every Agent host. Leave it empty only when X-Forwarded-Proto / X-Forwarded-Host are reliable and point to the same URL that Agents can access.
