Using the configuration directory

By default, the Config directory is used to host the configuration files.

There is no this directory in the project repository - you need to create it by copying from:

• Config.dev.template in case of launch for development purposes;
• Config.server.template if launched on the server.

Also, a non-standard configuration directory can be specified explicitly - the option config: <AbsoluteOrRelativePath> serves for this.

Please note that the name of the configuration directory must either be Config or end with.Config.

Examples

dotnet SunEngine.dll server - start with the default directoryConfig, in this case the system will search the directory tree from the up

dotnet SunEngine.dll server config: MySite - start with the directoryMySite.Config (suffix .Config is added automatically)

dotnet SunEngine.dll server config: MySite.Config - an example similar toMySite.Config

The config command works the same for all other commands:init, migrate, seed ..., for example:

dotnet SunEngine.dll migrate init seed config: MySite.
