6 dnf.conf - DNF Configuration Reference
7
9 DNF by default uses the global configuration file at /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
10 and all *.repo files found under /etc/yum.repos.d. The latter is typi‐
11 cally used for repository configuration and takes precedence over
12 global configuration.
13 The configuration file has INI format consisting of section declaration
15 and name=value options below each on separate line. There are two types
16 of sections in the configuration files: main and repository. Main sec‐
17 tion defines all global configuration options and should be only one.
18 The repository sections define the configuration for each (remote or
20 local) repository. The section name of the repository in brackets serve
21 as repo ID reference and should be unique across configuration files.
22 The allowed characters of repo ID string are lower and upper case
23 alphabetic letters, digits, -, _, . and :. The minimal repository con‐
24 figuration file should aside from repo ID consists of baseurl, metalink
25 or mirrorlist option definition.
26
28 Configuration options, namely best and skip_if_unavailable, can be set
29 in the DNF configuration file by your distribution to override the DNF
30 defaults.
31
33 allow_vendor_change
34 boolean
35 If disabled dnf will stick to vendor when upgrading or downgrad‐
37 ing rpms. Default is True
38 WARNING:
40 This option is currently not supported for downgrade and dis‐
41 tro-sync commands
42 arch string
44 The architecture used for installing packages. By default this
46 is auto-detected. Often used together with ignorearch option.
47 assumeno
49 boolean
50 If enabled dnf will assume No where it would normally prompt for
52 confirmation from user input. Default is False.
53 assumeyes
55 boolean
56 If enabled dnf will assume Yes where it would normally prompt
58 for confirmation from user input (see also defaultyes). Default
59 is False.
60 autocheck_running_kernel
62 boolean
63 Automatic check whether there is installed newer kernel module
65 with security update than currently running kernel. Default is
66 True.
67 basearch
69 string
70 The base architecture used for installing packages. By default
72 this is auto-detected.
73 best boolean
75 True instructs the solver to either use a package with the high‐
77 est available version or fail. On False, do not fail if the lat‐
78 est version cannot be installed and go with the lower version.
79 The default is False. Note this option in particular can be set
80 in your configuration file by your distribution.
81 cachedir
83 string
84 Path to a directory used by various DNF subsystems for storing
86 cache data. Has a reasonable root-writable default depending on
87 the distribution. DNF needs to be able to create files and
88 directories at this location.
89 cacheonly
91 boolean
92 If set to True DNF will run entirely from system cache, will not
94 update the cache and will use it even in case it is expired.
95 Default is False.
96 check_config_file_age
98 boolean
99 Specifies whether dnf should automatically expire metadata of
101 repos, which are older than their corresponding configuration
102 file (usually the dnf.conf file and the foo.repo file). Default
103 is True (perform the check). Expire of metadata is also affected
104 by metadata age. See also metadata_expire.
105 clean_requirements_on_remove
107 boolean
108 Remove dependencies that are no longer used during dnf remove. A
110 package only qualifies for removal via clean_require‐
111 ments_on_remove if it was installed through DNF but not on
112 explicit user request, i.e. it was pulled in as a dependency.
113 The default is True. (installonlypkgs are never automatically
114 removed.)
115 config_file_path
117 string
118 Path to the default main configuration file. Default is
120 /etc/dnf/dnf.conf.
121 debuglevel
123 integer
124 Debug messages output level, in the range 0 to 10. The higher
126 the number the more debug output is put to stdout. Default is 2.
127 debug_solver
129 boolean
130 Controls whether the libsolv debug files should be created when
132 solving the transaction. The debug files are created in the
133 ./debugdata directory. Default is False.
134 defaultyes
136 boolean
137 If enabled the default answer to user confirmation prompts will
139 be Yes. Not to be confused with assumeyes which will not prompt
140 at all. Default is False.
141 diskspacecheck
143 boolean
144 Controls wheather rpm shoud check available disk space during
146 the transaction. Default is True.
147 errorlevel
149 integer
150 Error messages output level, in the range 0 to 10. The higher
152 the number the more error output is put to stderr. Default is 3.
153 This is deprecated in DNF and overwritten by --verbose command‐
154 line option.
155 exit_on_lock
157 boolean
158 Should the dnf client exit immediately when something else has
160 the lock. Default is False.
161 gpgkey_dns_verification
163 boolean
164 Should the dnf attempt to automatically verify GPG verification
166 keys using the DNS system. This option requires the unbound
167 python module (python3-unbound) to be installed on the client
168 system. This system has two main features. The first one is to
169 check if any of the already installed keys have been revoked.
170 Automatic removal of the key is not yet available, so it is up
171 to the user, to remove revoked keys from the system. The second
172 feature is automatic verification of new keys when a repository
173 is added to the system. In interactive mode, the result is writ‐
174 ten to the output as a suggestion to the user. In non-interac‐
175 tive mode (i.e. when -y is used), this system will automatically
176 accept keys that are available in the DNS and are correctly
177 signed using DNSSEC. It will also accept keys that do not exist
178 in the DNS system and their NON-existence is cryptographically
179 proven using DNSSEC. This is mainly to preserve backward compat‐
180 ibility. Default is False.
181 group_package_types
183 list
184 List of the following: optional, default, mandatory. Tells dnf
186 which type of packages in groups will be installed when
187 'groupinstall' is called. Default is: default, mandatory.
188 ignorearch
190 boolean
191 If set to True, RPM will allow attempts to install packages
193 incompatible with the CPU's architecture. Defaults to False.
194 Often used together with arch option.
195 installonlypkgs
197 list
198 List of provide names of packages that should only ever be
200 installed, never upgraded. Kernels in particular fall into this
201 category. These packages are never removed by dnf autoremove
202 even if they were installed as dependencies (see
203 clean_requirements_on_remove for auto removal details). This
204 option append the list values to the default installonlypkgs
205 list used by DNF. The number of kept package versions is regu‐
206 lated by installonly_limit.
207 installonly_limit
209 integer
210 Number of installonly packages allowed to be installed concur‐
212 rently. Defaults to 3. The minimal number of installonly pack‐
213 ages is 2. Value 0 or 1 means unlimited number of installonly
214 packages.
215 installroot
217 string
218 The root of the filesystem for all packaging operations. It
220 requires an absolute path. See also --installroot commandline
221 option.
222 install_weak_deps
224 boolean
225 When this option is set to True and a new package is about to be
227 installed, all packages linked by weak dependency relation (Rec‐
228 ommends or Supplements flags) with this package will be pulled
229 into the transaction. Default is True.
230 keepcache
232 boolean
233 Keeps downloaded packages in the cache when set to True. Even if
235 it is set to False and packages have not been installed they
236 will still persist until next successful transaction. The
237 default is False.
238 logdir string
240 Directory where the log files will be stored. Default is
242 /var/log.
243 logfilelevel
245 integer
246 Log file messages output level, in the range 0 to 10. The higher
248 the number the more debug output is put to logs. Default is 9.
249 This option controls dnf.log, dnf.librepo.log and hawkey.log.
251 Although dnf.librepo.log and hawkey.log are affected only by
252 setting the logfilelevel to 10.
253 log_compress
255 boolean
256 When set to True, log files are compressed when they are
258 rotated. Default is False.
259 log_rotate
261 integer
262 Log files are rotated log_rotate times before being removed. If
264 log_rotate is 0, the rotation is not performed. Default is 4.
265 log_size
267 storage size
268 Log files are rotated when they grow bigger than log_size
270 bytes. If log_size is 0, the rotation is not performed. The
271 default is 1 MB. Valid units are 'k', 'M', 'G'.
272 The size applies for individual log files, not the sum of all
274 log files. See also log_rotate.
275 metadata_timer_sync
277 time in seconds
278 The minimal period between two consecutive makecache timer runs.
280 The command will stop immediately if it's less than this time
281 period since its last run. Does not affect simple makecache run.
282 Use 0 to completely disable automatic metadata synchronizing.
283 The default corresponds to three hours. The value is rounded to
284 the next commenced hour.
285 module_obsoletes
287 boolean
288 This option controls whether dnf should apply modular obsoletes
290 when possible.
291 module_platform_id
293 string
294 Set this to $name:$stream to override PLATFORM_ID detected from
296 /etc/os-release. It is necessary to perform a system upgrade
297 and switch to a new platform.
298 module_stream_switch
300 boolean
301 This option controls whether it's possible to switch enabled
303 streams of a module.
304 multilib_policy
306 string
307 Controls how multilib packages are treated during install opera‐
309 tions. Can either be "best" (the default) for the depsolver to
310 prefer packages which best match the system's architecture, or
311 "all" to install all available packages with compatible archi‐
312 tectures.
313 obsoletes
315 boolean
316 This option only has affect during an install/update. It enables
318 dnf's obsoletes processing logic, which means it makes dnf check
319 whether any dependencies of given package are no longer required
320 and removes them. Useful when doing distribution level
321 upgrades. Default is 'true'.
322 Command-line option: --obsoletes
324 persistdir
326 string
327 Directory where DNF stores its persistent data between runs.
329 Default is "/var/lib/dnf".
330 pluginconfpath
332 list
333 List of directories that are searched for plugin configurations
335 to load. All configuration files found in these directories,
336 that are named same as a plugin, are parsed. The default path is
337 /etc/dnf/plugins.
338 pluginpath
340 list
341 List of directories that are searched for plugins to load. Plug‐
343 ins found in any of the directories in this configuration option
344 are used. The default contains a Python version-specific path.
345 plugins
347 boolean
348 Controls whether the plugins are enabled. Default is True.
350 protected_packages
352 list
353 List of packages that DNF should never completely remove. They
355 are protected via Obsoletes as well as user/plugin removals.
356 The default is: dnf, glob:/etc/yum/protected.d/*.conf and
358 glob:/etc/dnf/protected.d/*.conf. So any packages which should
359 be protected can do so by including a file in /etc/dnf/pro‐
360 tected.d with their package name in it.
361 DNF will protect also the package corresponding to the running
363 version of the kernel. See also protect_running_kernel option.
364 protect_running_kernel
366 boolean
367 Controls whether the package corresponding to the running ver‐
369 sion of kernel is protected from removal. Default is True.
370 releasever
372 string
373 Used for substitution of $releasever in the repository configu‐
375 ration. See also repo variables.
376 reposdir
378 list
379 DNF searches for repository configuration files in the paths
381 specified by reposdir. The behavior of reposdir could differ
382 when it is used along with --installroot option.
383 rpmverbosity
385 string
386 RPM debug scriptlet output level. One of: critical, emergency,
388 error, warn, info or debug. Default is info.
389 strict boolean
391 If disabled, all unavailable packages or packages with broken
393 dependencies given to DNF command will be skipped without rais‐
394 ing the error causing the whole operation to fail. Currently
395 works for install command only. The default is True.
396 tsflags
398 list
399 List of strings adding extra flags for the RPM transaction.
401 ┌─────────────┬────────────────────────────┐
403 │tsflag value │ RPM Transaction Flag │
404 ├─────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
405 │noscripts │ RPMTRANS_FLAG_NOSCRIPTS │
406 ├─────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
407 │test │ RPMTRANS_FLAG_TEST │
408 ├─────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
409 │notriggers │ RPMTRANS_FLAG_NOTRIGGERS │
410 ├─────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
411 │nodocs │ RPMTRANS_FLAG_NODOCS │
412 ├─────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
413 │justdb │ RPMTRANS_FLAG_JUSTDB │
414 ├─────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
415 │nocontexts │ RPMTRANS_FLAG_NOCONTEXTS │
416 ├─────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
417 │nocaps │ RPMTRANS_FLAG_NOCAPS │
418 ├─────────────┼────────────────────────────┤
419 │nocrypto │ RPMTRANS_FLAG_NOFILEDIGEST │
420 └─────────────┴────────────────────────────┘
421 The nocrypto option will also set the _RPMVSF_NOSIGNATURES and
423 _RPMVSF_NODIGESTS VS flags. The test option provides a transac‐
424 tion check without performing the transaction. It includes down‐
425 loading of packages, gpg keys check (including permanent import
426 of additional keys if necessary), and rpm check to prevent file
427 conflicts. The nocaps is supported with rpm-4.14 or later. When
428 nocaps is used but rpm doesn't support it, DNF only reports it
429 as an invalid tsflag.
430 upgrade_group_objects_upgrade
432 boolean
433 Set this to False to disable the automatic running of group
435 upgrade when running the upgrade command. Default is True (per‐
436 form the operation).
437 varsdir
439 list
440 List of directories where variables definition files are looked
442 for. Defaults to "/etc/dnf/vars", "/etc/yum/vars". See variable
443 files in Configuration reference.
444 zchunk boolean
446 Enables or disables the use of repository metadata compressed
448 using the zchunk format (if available). Default is True.
449
451 color string
452 Controls if DNF uses colored output on the command line. Possi‐
454 ble values: "auto", "never", "always". Default is "auto".
455 color_list_available_downgrade
457 color
458 Color of available packages that are older than installed pack‐
460 ages. The option is used during list operations.
461 color_list_available_install
463 color
464 Color of packages that are available for installation and none
466 of their versions in installed. The option is used during list
467 operations.
468 color_list_available_reinstall
470 color
471 Color of available packages that are identical to installed ver‐
473 sions and are available for reinstalls. The option is used dur‐
474 ing list operations.
475 color_list_available_upgrade
477 color
478 Color of available packages that are newer than installed pack‐
480 ages. The option is used during list operations.
481 color_list_installed_extra
483 color
484 Color of installed packages that do not have any version among
486 available packages. The option is used during list operations.
487 color_list_installed_newer
489 color
490 Color of installed packages that are newer than any version
492 among available packages. The option is used during list opera‐
493 tions.
494 color_list_installed_older
496 color
497 Color of installed packages that are older than any version
499 among available packages. The option is used during list opera‐
500 tions.
501 color_list_installed_reinstall
503 color
504 Color of installed packages that are among available packages
506 and can be reinstalled. The option is used during list opera‐
507 tions.
508 color_search_match
510 color
511 Color of patterns matched in search output.
513 color_update_installed
515 color
516 Color of removed packages. This option is used during display‐
518 ing transactions.
519 color_update_local
521 color
522 Color of local packages that are installed from the @commandline
524 repository. This option is used during displaying transactions.
525 color_update_remote
527 color
528 Color of packages that are installed/upgraded/downgraded from
530 remote repositories. This option is used during displaying
531 transactions.
532
534 baseurl
535 list
536 List of URLs for the repository. Defaults to [].
538 cost integer
540 The relative cost of accessing this repository, defaulting to
542 1000. This value is compared when the priorities of two reposi‐
543 tories are the same. The repository with the lowest cost is
544 picked. It is useful to make the library prefer on-disk reposi‐
545 tories to remote ones.
546 enabled
548 boolean
549 Include this repository as a package source. The default is
551 True.
552 gpgkey list of strings
554 URLs of a GPG key files that can be used for signing metadata
556 and packages of this repository, empty by default. If a file can
557 not be verified using the already imported keys, import of keys
558 from this option is attempted and the keys are then used for
559 verification.
560 metalink
562 string
563 URL of a metalink for the repository. Defaults to None.
565 mirrorlist
567 string
568 URL of a mirrorlist for the repository. Defaults to None.
570 module_hotfixes
572 boolean
573 Set this to True to disable module RPM filtering and make all
575 RPMs from the repository available. The default is False. This
576 allows user to create a repository with cherry-picked hotfixes
577 that are included in a package set on a modular system.
578 name string
580 A human-readable name of the repository. Defaults to the ID of
582 the repository.
583 priority
585 integer
586 The priority value of this repository, default is 99. If there
588 is more than one candidate package for a particular operation,
589 the one from a repo with the lowest priority value is picked,
590 possibly despite being less convenient otherwise (e.g. by being
591 a lower version).
592 type string
594 Type of repository metadata. Supported values are: rpm-md.
596 Aliases for rpm-md: rpm, repomd, rpmmd, yum, YUM.
597
599 Right side of every repo option can be enriched by the following vari‐
600 ables:
601 $arch
603 Refers to the system’s CPU architecture e.g, aarch64, i586, i686 and
604 x86_64.
605 $basearch
607 Refers to the base architecture of the system. For example, i686 and
608 i586 machines both have a base architecture of i386, and AMD64 and
609 Intel64 machines have a base architecture of x86_64.
610 $releasever
612 Refers to the release version of operating system which DNF derives
613 from information available in RPMDB.
614 In addition to these hard coded variables, user-defined ones can also
616 be used. They can be defined either via variable files, or by using
617 special environmental variables. The names of these variables must be
618 prefixed with DNF_VAR_ and they can only consist of alphanumeric char‐
619 acters and underscores:
620 $ DNF_VAR_MY_VARIABLE=value
622 To use such variable in your repository configuration remove the pre‐
624 fix. E.g.:
625 [myrepo]
627 baseurl=https://example.site/pub/fedora/$MY_VARIABLE/releases/$releasever
628 Note that it is not possible to override the arch and basearch vari‐
630 ables using either variable files or environmental variables.
631 Although users are encouraged to use named variables, the numbered
633 environmental variables DNF0 - DNF9 are still supported:
634 $ DNF1=value
636 [myrepo]
638 baseurl=https://example.site/pub/fedora/$DNF1/releases/$releasever
639
641 Some options can be applied in either the main section, per repository,
642 or in a combination. The value provided in the main section is used for
643 all repositories as the default value, which repositories can then
644 override in their configuration.
645 bandwidth
647 storage size
648 Total bandwidth available for downloading. Meaningful when used
650 with the throttle option. Storage size is in bytes by default
651 but can be specified with a unit of storage. Valid units are
652 'k', 'M', 'G'.
653 countme
655 boolean
656 Determines whether a special flag should be added to a single,
658 randomly chosen metalink/mirrorlist query each week. This
659 allows the repository owner to estimate the number of systems
660 consuming it, by counting such queries over a week's time, which
661 is much more accurate than just counting unique IP addresses
662 (which is subject to both overcounting and undercounting due to
663 short DHCP leases and NAT, respectively).
664 The flag is a simple "countme=N" parameter appended to the met‐
666 alink and mirrorlist URL, where N is an integer representing the
667 "longevity" bucket this system belongs to. The following 4
668 buckets are defined, based on how many full weeks have passed
669 since the beginning of the week when this system was installed:
670 1 = first week, 2 = first month (2-4 weeks), 3 = six months
671 (5-24 weeks) and 4 = more than six months (> 24 weeks). This
672 information is meant to help distinguish short-lived installs
673 from long-term ones, and to gather other statistics about system
674 lifecycle.
675 Default is False.
677 deltarpm
679 boolean
680 When enabled, DNF will save bandwidth by downloading much
682 smaller delta RPM files, rebuilding them to RPM locally. How‐
683 ever, this is quite CPU and I/O intensive. Default is True.
684 deltarpm_percentage
686 integer
687 When the relative size of delta vs pkg is larger than this,
689 delta is not used. Default value is 75 (Deltas must be at least
690 25% smaller than the pkg). Use 0 to turn off delta rpm process‐
691 ing. Local repositories (with file:// baseurl) have delta rpms
692 turned off by default.
693 enablegroups
695 boolean
696 Determines whether DNF will allow the use of package groups for
698 this repository. Default is True (package groups are allowed).
699 excludepkgs
701 list
702 Exclude packages of this repository, specified by a name or a
704 glob and separated by a comma, from all operations. Can be dis‐
705 abled using --disableexcludes command line switch. Defaults to
706 [].
707 fastestmirror
709 boolean
710 If enabled a metric is used to find the fastest available mir‐
712 ror. This overrides the order provided by the mirrorlist/met‐
713 alink file itself. This file is often dynamically generated by
714 the server to provide the best download speeds and enabling
715 fastestmirror overrides this. The default is False.
716 gpgcheck
718 boolean
719 Whether to perform GPG signature check on packages found in this
721 repository. The default is False.
722 This option can only be used to strengthen the active RPM secu‐
724 rity policy set with the %_pkgverify_level macro (see the
725 /usr/lib/rpm/macros file for details). That means, if the macro
726 is set to 'signature' or 'all' and this option is False, it will
727 be overridden to True during DNF runtime, and a warning will be
728 printed. To squelch the warning, make sure this option is True
729 for every enabled repository, and also enable localpkg_gpgcheck.
730 includepkgs
732 list
733 Include packages of this repository, specified by a name or a
735 glob and separated by a comma, in all operations. Inverse of
736 excludepkgs, DNF will exclude any package in the repository that
737 doesn't match this list. This works in conjunction with
738 excludepkgs and doesn't override it, so if you 'excludep‐
739 kgs=*.i386' and 'includepkgs=python*' then only packages start‐
740 ing with python that do not have an i386 arch will be seen by
741 DNF in this repo. Can be disabled using --disableexcludes com‐
742 mand line switch. Defaults to [].
743 ip_resolve
745 IP address type
746 Determines how DNF resolves host names. Set this to '4'/'IPv4'
748 or '6'/'IPv6' to resolve to IPv4 or IPv6 addresses only. By
749 default, DNF resolves to either addresses.
750 localpkg_gpgcheck
752 boolean
753 Whether to perform a GPG signature check on local packages
755 (packages in a file, not in a repository). The default is
756 False. This option is subject to the active RPM security policy
757 (see gpgcheck for more details).
758 max_parallel_downloads
760 integer
761 Maximum number of simultaneous package downloads. Defaults to 3.
763 metadata_expire
765 time in seconds
766 The period after which the remote repository is checked for
768 metadata update and in the positive case the local metadata
769 cache is updated. The default corresponds to 48 hours. Set this
770 to -1 or never to make the repo never considered expired. Expire
771 of metadata can be also triggered by change of timestamp of con‐
772 figuration files (dnf.conf, <repo>.repo). See also
773 check_config_file_age.
774 minrate
776 storage size
777 This sets the low speed threshold in bytes per second. If the
779 server is sending data at the same or slower speed than this
780 value for at least timeout option seconds, DNF aborts the con‐
781 nection. The default is 1000. Valid units are 'k', 'M', 'G'.
782 password
784 string
785 The password to use for connecting to a repository with basic
787 HTTP authentication. Empty by default.
788 proxy string
790 URL of a proxy server to connect through. Set to an empty string
792 to disable the proxy setting inherited from the main section and
793 use direct connection instead. The expected format of this
794 option is <scheme>://<ip-or-hostname>[:port]. (For backward
795 compatibility, '_none_' can be used instead of the empty
796 string.)
797 Note: The curl environment variables (such as http_proxy) are
799 effective if this option is unset. See the curl man page for
800 details.
801 proxy_username
803 string
804 The username to use for connecting to the proxy server. Empty by
806 default.
807 proxy_password
809 string
810 The password to use for connecting to the proxy server. Empty by
812 default.
813 proxy_auth_method
815 string
816 The authentication method used by the proxy server. Valid values
818 are

842 Defaults to any
844 proxy_sslcacert
846 string
847 Path to the file containing the certificate authorities to ver‐
849 ify proxy SSL certificates. Empty by default - uses system
850 default.
851 proxy_sslverify
853 boolean
854 When enabled, proxy SSL certificates are verified. If the client
856 can not be authenticated, connecting fails and the repository is
857 not used any further. If False, SSL connections can be used, but
858 certificates are not verified. Default is True.
859 proxy_sslclientcert
861 string
862 Path to the SSL client certificate used to connect to proxy
864 server. Empty by default.
865 proxy_sslclientkey
867 string
868 Path to the SSL client key used to connect to proxy server.
870 Empty by default.
871 repo_gpgcheck
873 boolean
874 Whether to perform GPG signature check on this repository's
876 metadata. The default is False.
877 retries
879 integer
880 Set the number of total retries for downloading packages. The
882 number is accumulative, so e.g. for retries=10, dnf will fail
883 after any package download fails for eleventh time. Setting this
884 to 0 makes dnf try forever. Default is 10.
885 skip_if_unavailable
887 boolean
888 If enabled, DNF will continue running and disable the repository
890 that couldn't be synchronized for any reason. This option
891 doesn't affect skipping of unavailable packages after dependency
892 resolution. To check inaccessibility of repository use it in
893 combination with refresh command line option. The default is
894 False. Note this option in particular can be set in your con‐
895 figuration file by your distribution.
896 sslcacert
898 string
899 Path to the file containing the certificate authorities to ver‐
901 ify SSL certificates. Empty by default - uses system default.
902 sslverify
904 boolean
905 When enabled, remote SSL certificates are verified. If the
907 client can not be authenticated, connecting fails and the repos‐
908 itory is not used any further. If False, SSL connections can be
909 used, but certificates are not verified. Default is True.
910 sslclientcert
912 string
913 Path to the SSL client certificate used to connect to remote
915 sites. Empty by default.
916 sslclientkey
918 string
919 Path to the SSL client key used to connect to remote sites.
921 Empty by default.
922 throttle
924 storage size
925 Limits the downloading speed. It might be an absolute value or a
927 percentage, relative to the value of the bandwidth option
928 option. 0 means no throttling (the default). The absolute value
929 is in bytes by default but can be specified with a unit of stor‐
930 age. Valid units are 'k', 'M', 'G'.
931 timeout
933 time in seconds
934 Number of seconds to wait for a connection before timing out.
936 Used in combination with minrate option option. Defaults to 30
937 seconds.
938 username
940 string
941 The username to use for connecting to repo with basic HTTP
943 authentication. Empty by default.
944 user_agent
946 string
947 The User-Agent string to include in HTTP requests sent by DNF.
949 Defaults to
950 libdnf (NAME VERSION_ID; VARIANT_ID; OS.BASEARCH)
952 where NAME, VERSION_ID and VARIANT_ID are OS identifiers read
954 from the os-release(5) file, and OS and BASEARCH are the canoni‐
955 cal OS name and base architecture, respectively. Example:
956 libdnf (Fedora 31; server; Linux.x86_64)
958
960 boolean
961 This is a data type with only two possible values.
962 One of following options can be used: 1, 0, True, False, yes, no
964 integer

967 component.
968 list It is an option that could represent one or more strings sepa‐
970 rated by space or comma characters.
971 string It is a sequence of symbols or digits without any whitespace
973 character.
974 color A string describing color and modifiers separated with a comma,
