Lisk Service Configuration Reference

On the Introduction to Lisk Service page, we have discussed the various microservices that combine to form Lisk Service. On this page, we will thoroughly discuss the configuration options available for each service.

Default configurations

By default, a Lisk Service installation will have an ecosystem.config.js file with all the default configurations that could be used to run and manage the various microservices with pm2.

The actual ecosystem.config.js file for Lisk Service can be found in the lisk-service GitHub repository.

The values of various environment variables are automatically picked by the microservices based on the installation environment. Aside from that, many environment variables can be configured to meet the specific requirements, the details of which have been outlined with each microservice.

Microservice configurations

In this section, we discuss the common and specific configurations of all the microservices of Lisk Service.
