Location of device definition files is inside of each ~/.dmt/user/devices/[device_name]/def
directory.
Device definition files are in the def
subdirectory of each DMT DEVICE directory.
They use a custom definition format for this project which is a very simplified YAML.
To be able to configure the basics of your device(s) you must know the basics of .def format which we will learn in a special section.
Most notably it contains device name (this is usually the same as directory name for device).
Example of minimal device.def
file contents:
device: my_server
Before explaining what else can we define inside the device.def
file we have to cover .DEF format
. We do this in next group of pages. For now let's see other two important configuration files of each device.
Defines lists of directories for between-device sharing.
Defines permanent connections between devices. For example PC → PS.
You can create a permanent connection between your main PC and your Personal Server.
For now just think of it as something that is currently connected
or disconnected
.
