        @geo sorry, don’t understand the question…

        what editor are you using on the config.js file?

          @geo said in config.js:

          hi,in this config i am unable to add a line under position in compliments to insert config.

          If you are using the nano editor, you can go to the end of the line above where you want to insert the new line and then press enter. That will give you a new line to play with.

          i can do this in config.sample and config.file which is a copy.
          can anyone explain this please.

          For starters, the name of the file is config.js. It has to be named exactly that in order for the system to work. So I would recommend that you copy your config.sample to config.js by entering cp config.sample config.js and then start your mirror process.

          Once you have a working config file, we can work on modifying it.

                @geo its

                cp config.sample.js config.js
                

                warning, its will overwrite the file on the right side of that command…
                it will NOT warn you
