Node Configuration Reference |
7 |
The table below represents the reference for every Node configuration option available.
:::danger Caution The following configuration options are intended for advanced users with a deep understanding of their impact.
The parameters used in the Automatic Installation guide and Manual Installation guide should serve the vast majority of users.
Please exercise extreme care and discretion when modifying these settings, as any incorrect changes may result in unintended consequences or system instability. :::
