Configuration

There are mainly 3 different ways to configure Lavalink:

Config File

This is the easiest way to configure Lavalink. You create a file called application.yml where you start your Lavalink server. See the application.yml documentation for more information.

Config Server

WARNING: This is an advanced feature geared towards big deployments.

You can run the Lavalink Config Server to manage the configuration of multiple Lavalink servers at one place. See the Config Server documentation for more information.

Environment Variables

You can also configure Lavalink using environment variables. See the environment variables documentation for more information.
