# Configuration
Piston provides many different configuration options to tweak Piston to meet your needs.
Configuration is specified through environment variables, prefixed with `PISTON_`.
## Log Level
```yaml
key: PISTON_LOG_LEVEL
default: INFO
```
Level of log output to provide.
One of `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARN`, `ERROR` or `NONE`
## Bind Address
```yaml
key: PISTON_BIND_ADDRESS
default: 0.0.0.0:2000
```
Port and IP address to bind the Piston API to.
<!-- prettier-ignore -->
!!! warning
Changing this value is not recommended.
This changes the bind address inside the container, and thus serves no purpose when running in a container
## Data Directory
```yaml
key: PISTON_DATA_DIRECTORY
default: /piston
```
Absolute path to piston related data, including packages and job contexts.
<!-- prettier-ignore -->
!!! warning
Changing this value is not recommended.
Some packages require absolute paths on disk at build time.
Due to this, some packages may break when changing this parameter.
## Runner GID/UID range
```yaml
key:
- PISTON_RUNNER_UID_MIN
- PISTON_RUNNER_UID_MAX
- PISTON_RUNNER_GID_MIN
- PISTON_RUNNER_GID_MAX
default:
- 1001
- 1500
- 1001
- 1500
```
UID and GID ranges to use when executing jobs.
<!-- prettier-ignore -->
!!! warning
Changing this value is not recommended.
The piston container creates 500 users and groups by default, and reserves user/group 1000 for running the API.
Any processes run by these users will be killed when cleaning up a job.
## Disable Networking
```yaml
key: PISTON_DISABLE_NETWORKING
default: true
```
Disallows access to `socket` syscalls, effectively disabling networking for jobs run by piston.
## Max Process Count
```yaml
key: PISTON_MAX_PROCESS_COUNT
default: 64
```
Maximum number of processess allowed to to have open for a job.
Resists against exhausting the process table, causing a full system lockup.
## Output Max Side
```yaml
key: PISTON_OUTPUT_MAX_SIZE
default: 1024
```
Maximum size of stdio buffers for each job.
Resist against run-away output which could lead to memory exhaustion.
## Max Open Files
```yaml
key: PISTON_MAX_OPEN_FILES
default: 64
```
Maximum number of open files at a given time by a job.
Resists against writing many smaller files to exhaust inodes.
## Max File Size
```yaml
key: PISTON_MAX_FILE_SIZE
default: 10000000 #10MB
```
Maximum size for a singular file written to disk.
Resists against large file writes to exhaust disk space.
## Compile/Run memory limits
```yaml
key:
- PISTON_COMPILE_MEMORY_LIMIT
- PISTON_RUN_MEMORY_LIMIT
default: -1
```
Maximum memory allowed by a stage in bytes.
Use -1 for unlimited memory usage.
Useful for running memory-limited contests.
## Repository URL
```yaml
key: PISTON_REPO_URL
default: https://github.com/engineer-man/piston/releases/download/pkgs/index
```
URL for repository index, where packages will be downloaded from.
