Configuration Options
RavenDB is Safe by Default, which means its default settings are configured for best safety.
You can change these settings, however, to divert from the default behavior.

Environment Variables
RavenDB's configuration can be adjusted using environment variables.
The server will retrieve all the environment variables that start with RAVEN_
and apply their values to the specified configuration keys.
All the period (.) characters in configuration keys must be replaced with an
underscore character (_) when used in environment variables.
Example
RAVEN_Setup_Mode=None
RAVEN_DataDir=RavenData
RAVEN_Certificate_Path=/config/raven-server.certificate.pfx
settings.json
Use the settings.json file to change the server configuration.
The file is created when running the server for the first time, duplicating the settings.default.json file.
Find it at the same directory as the server executable.
The file is read and applied only on server startup.
Example
{
"ServerUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:8080",
"Setup.Mode": "None"
}settings.json configuration options override environment variables settings.
Command Line Arguments
The server can be configured using command line arguments that can be passed to the console application (or while running as a deamon).
Example:
./Raven.Server --Setup.Mode=NoneCommand line arguments override environment variables
and settings.json settings.
