-Trilium supports configuration via a file named config.ini and

+Trilium supports configuration via a file named config.ini and environment variables. This document provides a comprehensive reference for all configuration options.
+
+Configuration Precedence
+Configuration values are loaded in the following order of precedence (highest to lowest):
 
-  - Environment variables should be prefixed with TRILIUM_and
-    use underscores to represent the INI section structure.
-- The format is: TRILIUM_<SECTION>_<KEY>=<VALUE>-
-- The environment variables will override any matching values from config.ini+
- Environment variables (checked first)+
- config.ini file values+
- Default values
-For example, if you have this in your config.ini:
[Network]
-host=localhost
-port=8080
-You can override these values using environment variables:
TRILIUM_NETWORK_HOST=0.0.0.0
-TRILIUM_NETWORK_PORT=9000
-The code will:
-
-  - First load the config.inifile as before
-- Then scan all environment variables for ones starting with TRILIUM_-
-- Parse these variables into section/key pairs-
- Merge them with the config from the file, with environment variables taking

+Environment Variable Patterns
+Trilium supports multiple environment variable patterns for flexibility. The primary pattern is: TRILIUM_[SECTION]_[KEY]
+Where:
+
+  - SECTIONis the INI section name in UPPERCASE
+- KEYis the camelCase configuration key converted to UPPERCASE (e.g.,- instanceName→- INSTANCENAME)
+
+Additionally, shorter aliases are available for common configurations (see Alternative Variables section below).

+You can also review the [configuration](../../Advanced%20Usage/Configuration%20\(config.ini%20or%20e.md) file to provide all `config.ini` values as environment variables instead. For example, you can configure TLS using environment variables:

+export TRILIUM_NETWORK_CERTPATH=/path/to/cert.pem
+export TRILIUM_NETWORK_KEYPATH=/path/to/key.pem

 The above example shows how this is set up in an environment where the certificate was generated using Let's Encrypt's ACME utility. Your paths may differ. For Docker installations, ensure these paths are within a volume or another directory accessible by the Docker container, such as `/home/node/trilium-data/[DIR IN DATA DIRECTORY]`.
