Configuration Reference

Keywords

openme configuration, openme YAML config, server config, client config, openme config reference

openme uses YAML configuration files for both the server and the client. All key material is stored inline in base64 (WireGuard-style), so there is only one file to back up per host.

• Server Config — /etc/openme/config.yaml
• Client Config — ~/.openme/config.yaml
• Firewall Backends — iptables vs nft

File Permissions

Both config files are written with 0600 permissions because they contain private key material. The directories (/etc/openme/, ~/.openme/) are created with 0750 and 0700 respectively.

Never commit config files to version control.
