Environment variables

Warning

These are for advanced users. You should not use these unless you have a specific reason to.

You can set the following environment variables to control the remote.it CLI's behavior:

REMOTEIT_CONFIG_PATH="/path/to/config.json" path to the config file. Note that you can also set this using the -c, --config flag on the CLI to do this.
REMOTEIT_HWID="some-hardware-id" the Hardware ID to use to identify this Device.
REMOTEIT_VERBOSE=true to turn on verbose mode. Note you can also use the -v, --verbose flag on the CLI to do this.
REMOTEIT_DIR="/path/to/remoteit" to configure where remote.it related files exist. This is used as a root for things like logs and binaries on some systems, primarily Windows.
REMOTEIT_LOG_DIR="/path/to/logs" to configure where logs should be written to.
REMOTEIT_BINARY_DIR="/path/to/binaries" to configure where remote.it related binaries exist.
REMOTEIT_CONNECTD_PATH="/path/to/connectd" to configure where the connectd binary exists.
REMOTEIT_MUXER_PATH="/path/to/muxer" to configure where the muxer binary exists.
REMOTEIT_DEMUXER_PATH="/path/to/demuxer" to configure where the demuxer binary exists.
REMOTEIT_SCHANNEL_PORT=5980 to configure what port SChannel should listen on.

Additionally, you can set these on

Raspberry Pi/Linux/Mac/Unix using export VARIABLE="VALUE"
