Configuration File

The Conductor client tools rely upon a configuration file named config.yml.

The default location for this file varies by platform:

~/Library/Application Support/Conductor/config.yml

~/.conductor/config.yml

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Conductor Technologies\Conductor\config.yml

Settings

The available settings are specified with YAML keys as described below.

Note

For Clarisse users, please be aware that most of the settings in the config file are not used by the Clarisse submitter plugin. With the exception of api_key, equivalents parameters exist in the submitter UI itself.

environment Additional environment variable assignments to be included in submissions. For example, you may want to upload and run a pre-render script. You can use this key to add the path to the script. 
environment:
  PATH: /path/to/my/scripts
output_dir By default, files are downloaded to the directory that was specified on submission. Use this key to override that directory and download to the specified location. 
output_dir: /special/path/to/my/renders
local_upload Specify whether uploads should run on the workstation where jobs are submitted. Set this key to False if you have a dedicated machine to run an uploader daemon. 
local_upload: False
api_key_path Full path to the location of a file containing your API_KEY. This is optional if you are not running an uploader or downloader daemons. 
api_key_path: /path/to/my/conductor_api_key.json
location Tag your submissions with a location. This allows you to download only those tagged jobs while running the downloader daemon. 
location: london_studio
upload_paths A list of additional paths to be uploaded. Both files and directories are valid. 
upload_paths:
  - /path/to/my/scripts/prerender.py
  - /assets/not/detected/during/dependency/scan/
