Configuration - Tori Docs

Tori stores its settings in a config.toml file inside its data directory.

File location

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Tori/config.toml
Windows: %APPDATA%\Tori\config.toml
Linux: ~/.local/share/Tori/config.toml (or under $SEANIME_DATA_DIR if set)

Most settings can also be changed from the in-app Settings UI, which writes back to this file — editing it directly is mainly useful for headless/server setups or fixing something the UI won’t let you (like the bind host).

`[server]`

Key	Description
`host`	Interface to bind to. `127.0.0.1` = local machine only. `0.0.0.0` = reachable from other devices on your network (required for mobile apps, VPS setups, etc).
`port`	Port the server listens on. Default `43211`.
`offline`	Start in offline mode.
`usebinarypath`	Whether to resolve external tool paths (mpv, ffmpeg, etc.) relative to the binary’s location.

`[cache]`

Controls where Tori caches images, metadata, and transcoded segments. See Transcoding & Direct Play for transcode-specific cache behavior.

Environment variables

Variable	Description
`SEANIME_DATA_DIR`	Overrides the data directory location.
`SEANIME_WORKING_DIR`	Overrides the working directory Tori runs from.

These env var names are internal identifiers carried over from the underlying engine and don’t affect branding — they’re not shown to you anywhere in the app.

Applying changes

Config file edits require a full restart of the server (fully quit Tori Denshi, not just close the window) to take effect.
