ok, we've all been there, we messed around and we found out and now things won't work anymore.

that's why we write the config in a file that you can edit yourself! this manual will show you where to go

for the technicians amongst us, there will be a few tricks down below that you can use to manually boot up a minux system, but first, the config files!


Minux-main | the base package.

/etc/auth.cfg - auth type setting

this file stores what type of auth this computer users, values can be

"disabled" - no login at all

"local" - uses local login system

"network" - uses AUTH server


/usr/apt/update.cfg - auto update settings

this file stores the settings for the auto update on boot feature, values can be:

"disabled" - no update checks at all

"enabled" - update/version checks (recommended).

"always" - always force update/reinstall on boot.


/etc/apt/list/installed.db - installation list

this file keeps track of installed software on this system

every line is a program as it's called in the repository


/usr/apt/source.ls - apt source file

this is the list of apt sources apt will try to use when installing or updating software.

every line is a source on it's on. adding trough "apt -s" does a check on validity and is highly recommended.


/usr/local/auth/ - local user accounts

contains local user account files, only used when auth is set to "local"

quite unsafe. delete "root.usr" to "reset" the root password on next boot.


/usr/minux-main/menu.cfg

contains the chosen UI information, can be either "prompt", "menu" or "workspace", defaults to workspace if invalid, triggers ui choser on bootup if non existing.


/usr/minux-main/debug.cfg

contains debug settings, can be either "disabled", "enabled", "logging" or "full".


DHCP server config files

/usr/dhcp-server/auth.cfg - auth server

contains the ID of the auth server on this network, hard set to avoid tampering.


/usr/dhcp-server/systems/ - DNS system registry

contains the registry data on computers in the network.


AUTH server config files

/usr/auth-server/userdata/ - userdata folder

/usr/auth-server/groupdata/ - groupdata folder

/usr/auth-server/ownerdata/ - contains ownership data


Door config:

/usr/door/shelltype.cfg - type of shell

either to launch in a new tab or the main shell.

contains either "advanced" or "basic"


/usr/door/toggle.cfg - toggle enabled

can this door be toggled on/of or not?

it's existance means "true", delete it to disable. what it contains doesn't matter.


/usr/door/side.cfg - redstone side

what side the redstone connection is on.

if i have forgotten any, i'll add them later!
