# Distributor Configuration
## Config file location
`distributor run --config <path>` loads the YAML config at the path provided by `--config`.
If `--config` is omitted during run, the built-in default path is:
```text
/usr/local/etc/distributor/config.yml
```
The current implementation supports local-to-local publication of source files, generated HTML files, or both. Remote backends are not implemented yet.
## Minimal config
```yaml
pipelines:
- id: reports
source:
backend: local
path: /var/spool/distributor/reports
destinations:
- id: archive
backend: local
path: /srv/reports/archive
```
This uses the default publish policy of source files only and the default transfer policy.
## Production-oriented config
```yaml
pipelines:
- id: reports
source:
backend: local
path: /var/spool/distributor/reports
validation:
on_digest_mismatch: fail
destinations:
- id: archive
backend: local
path: /srv/reports/archive
publish:
source: true
html: false
transfer:
on_destination_same: skip
on_destination_older: replace
on_destination_newer: skip
on_conflict: fail
```
## Reference
Top level:
- `pipelines`: required non-empty list.
Pipeline:
- `id`: required unique identifier.
- `source`: required backend config.
- `destinations`: required non-empty destination list.
- `validation.on_digest_mismatch`: optional, defaults to `fail`; only `fail` is supported.
Backends:
- `local`: requires `path`.
- `ssh`: requires `uri` and `path`.
- `s3`: requires `endpoint` and `bucket`; supports optional `prefix`, `region`, `force_path_style`, and `credentials`.
Destination policy:
- `publish.source`: publish source artifacts.
- `publish.html`: publish generated HTML artifacts from Markdown source files.
- `transfer.on_destination_same`: `skip` or `fail`, defaults to `skip`.
- `transfer.on_destination_older`: `replace` or `fail`, defaults to `replace`.
- `transfer.on_destination_newer`: `skip` or `fail`, defaults to `skip`.
- `transfer.on_conflict`: only `fail`, defaults to `fail`.
When `publish.html` is true, `transform.markdown_to_html.enabled: true` and `transform.markdown_to_html.mode: sidecar` are required.
Markdown-to-HTML sidecar generation writes `report.html` for `report.md` and does not mutate the source bundle.
## Secrets
Do not put literal secrets in config files. S3 credentials may refer to environment variable names with:
- `credentials.access_key_id_env`
- `credentials.secret_access_key_env`
