Configuration

Memorose reads configuration from config.toml plus environment variables. The current config surface is broader than the earlier docs versions and should be treated as infrastructure configuration, not just storage tuning.

​
Main Files

  • config.toml: runtime and storage behavior
  • .env: provider keys and environment-specific overrides
  • .env.example: current env variable reference
  • config.example.toml: current config shape reference

Minimal Example

[server]
host = "0.0.0.0"
port = 3000

[database]
data_dir = "./data"
wal_sync_mode = "normal"

[consolidation]
enabled = true
interval_secs = 10
batch_size = 100
entropy_threshold = 2.5
similarity_threshold = 0.7

[consolidation.llm]
provider = "gemini"
model = "gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview"
embedding_model = "gemini-embedding-2-preview"
max_retries = 3
timeout_secs = 30
temperature = 0.3

[forgetting]
enabled = true
decay_half_life_days = 30
min_importance = 0.1
prune_interval_secs = 3600

[graph]
auto_link_threshold = 0.7
max_edges_per_node = 100
enable_page_rank = true
enable_community_detection = true

[raft]
node_id = "node1"
raft_addr = "127.0.0.1:5001"

​
Environment Variables

Common environment variables from .env.example: 
LLM_PROVIDER=gemini
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_api_key_here
LLM_MODEL=gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview
EMBEDDING_MODEL=gemini-embedding-2-preview
MEMOROSE_WORKER__CONSOLIDATION_INTERVAL_MS=1000
MEMOROSE_WORKER__LLM_CONCURRENCY=5
MEMOROSE_WORKER__AUTO_LINK_SIMILARITY_THRESHOLD=0.6
Use DASHBOARD_ADMIN_PASSWORD to replace the default dashboard password.

​
What Each Section Controls

  • [server]: bind address, port, worker count
  • [database]: on-disk layout and engine-specific tuning
  • [consolidation]: L0 to L1 extraction cadence and acceptance thresholds
  • [forgetting]: decay and pruning of low-value memory
  • [graph]: auto-linking and community detection
  • [raft]: clustering, election timing, membership, snapshots
  • [cache]: cached query behavior
  • [multimodal]: image, audio, and video processing toggles
  • [security]: auth and rate limiting
  • [telemetry]: logs, metrics, tracing
  • [development]: mock LLMs, debug settings, test determinism

​
Guidance

  • Use config.example.toml as the canonical template.
  • Use .env.example as the canonical provider and worker override reference.
  • Avoid older docs examples that mention [storage], [dashboard], or /health; those reflect a previous API/config model.
