Environment Variables

Xray provides the following environment variables to modify some underlying configurations of Xray.

Resource File Path

• Name: xray.location.asset or XRAY_LOCATION_ASSET.
• Default value: Specific FHS directories or the same path as the Xray executable.

This environment variable specifies a folder location that should contain the geoip.dat and geosite.dat files. If no variable value is specified, the program will look for resource files in the following order:

./
/usr/local/share/xray
/usr/share/xray

Configuration File Location

• Name: xray.location.config or XRAY_LOCATION_CONFIG.
• Default value: The same path as the Xray executable.

This environment variable specifies a folder location that should contain the config.json file.

Multiple Configuration Directory

• Name: xray.location.confdir or XRAY_LOCATION_CONFDIR.
• Default value: "".

The .json files in this directory will be read in alphabetical order of their filenames as multiple configuration options.

This item has lower priority than the startup argument confdir.
