# Configuration Documentation
## Introduction
The configuration file is stored in a file called config.json, for an example, copy example-config.json to config.json (`cp example-config.json config.json`) and modify from there.<br/>
Currently all values in example-config.json are required, however I plan to add support for default values in the case of no value being set.
## Technical configuration
* "site_url": "https://example.com"<br/>
This value defines the url of your site, this used for the RSS feed to link back to post.
* "port": 8080<br/>
This value defines the port that you run the blog on. Don't change this value if you don't know what that means.
* "allow_signup": true<br/>
Boolean that defines weather new people should be allowed to signup.
* "timeline_length": 20<br/>
How many posts will be shown on the timeline (home page).
* "enable_hitcount": true<br/>
Enabling the hitcount (a number that represents the amount of front page loads (stored in hitcount.txt)) can slightly slow down loading of the front page.
* "charset": "UTF-8"<br/>
This is the value in the <meta charset=""> tag in the html of all pages, you should not change this unless you know why.
