Configuring Matrix OS

Learn how to configure Matrix OS to match your needs, from basic settings to advanced customization options.

Basic Configuration

The main configuration file for Matrix OS is matrix.config.json. Here's a basic example:

Basic Configuration
{
  "node": {
    "name": "my-matrix-node",
    "type": "full",
    "network": {
      "port": 9000,
      "host": "0.0.0.0"
    }
  },
  "storage": {
    "path": "./data",
    "maxSize": "10GB"
  },
  "logging": {
    "level": "info",
    "output": "console"
  }
}

Network Configuration

P2P Network Settings

Configure peer-to-peer networking parameters:

Network Configuration
{
  "network": {
    "p2p": {
      "maxPeers": 50,
      "bootstrapNodes": [
        "/ip4/1.2.3.4/tcp/9000/p2p/QmHash1",
        "/ip4/5.6.7.8/tcp/9000/p2p/QmHash2"
      ],
      "discovery": {
        "mdns": true,
        "bootstrap": true
      }
    }
  }
}

Security Configuration

Security Settings

Configure security parameters and permissions:

Security Configuration
{
  "security": {
    "encryption": {
      "type": "aes-256-gcm",
      "keyRotation": "7d"
    },
    "permissions": {
      "agents": ["network", "storage", "compute"],
      "users": {
        "admin": ["all"],
        "user": ["read", "execute"]
      }
    },
    "firewall": {

        {"port": 9000, "allow": "all"},
        {"port": "range:1024:65535", "allow": "none"}
      ]
    }
  }
}
