Old Configuration FilesΒΆ
Tahoe-LAFS releases before v1.3.0 had no tahoe.cfg
file, and used
distinct files for each item listed below. If Tahoe-LAFS v1.9.0 or above
detects the old configuration files at start up it emits a warning and
aborts the start up. (This was issue ticket #1385.)

Note: the functionality of [node]ssh.port
and
[node]ssh.authorized_keys_file
were previously (before Tahoe-LAFS
v1.3.0) combined, controlled by the presence of a
BASEDIR/authorized_keys.SSHPORT
file, in which the suffix of the
filename indicated which port the ssh server should listen on, and the
contents of the file provided the ssh public keys to accept. Support
for these files has been removed completely. To ssh
into your
Tahoe-LAFS node, add [node]ssh.port
and
[node].ssh_authorized_keys_file
statements to your tahoe.cfg
.
Likewise, the functionality of [node]tub.location
is a variant of
the now (since Tahoe-LAFS v1.3.0) unsupported
BASEDIR/advertised_ip_addresses
. The old file was additive (the
addresses specified in advertised_ip_addresses
were used in
addition to any that were automatically discovered), whereas the new
tahoe.cfg
directive is not (tub.location
is used verbatim).
