Configuration

Configuration can be provided via a variety of sources:

  • CLI Options
  • Environment Variables
  • Configuration File

Example: CLI Options

$ linkding -u http://127.0.0.1:8000 -t abcde12345 ...

Example: Environment Variables

$ LINKDING_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000 LINKDING_TOKEN=abcde12345 linkding ...

Example: Configuration File

The configuration file can be formatted as either JSON:

{
  "token": "abcde12345",
  "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000",
  "verbose": false
}

...or YAML

---
token: "abcde12345"
url: "http://127.0.0.1:8000"
verbose: false

Then, the linkding file can be provided via either -c or --config.

$ linkding -c ~/.config/linkding.json ...

Merging Configuration Options

When parsing configuration options, linkding-cli looks at the configuration sources in the following order:

  1. Configuration File
  2. Environment Variables
  3. CLI Options

This allows you to mix and match sources – for instance, you might have "defaults" in the configuration file and override them via environment variables.

Misc.

Parsing and Pretty Printing Data

linkding-cli doesn't have built-in utilities for modifying JSON output in any way. Instead, it's recommended to use a tool like jq. This allows for multiple new outcomes, like pretty-printing:

$ linkding bookmarks all | jq
{
  "count": 123,
  "next": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/bookmarks/?limit=100&offset=100",
  "previous": null,
  "results": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "url": "https://example.com",
      "title": "Example title",
      "description": "Example description",
      "website_title": "Website title",
      "website_description": "Website description",
      "tag_names": [
        "tag1",
        "tag2"
      ],
      "date_added": "2020-09-26T09:46:23.006313Z",
      "date_modified": "2020-09-26T16:01:14.275335Z"
    }
  ]
}

...and slicing/parsing data:

$ linkding bookmarks all | jq '.results[0].title'
"Example title"

User Info

  Work with user info.

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.
