Monero Node Config Generator

A simple, open-source, client-side tool to generate a monerod.conf configuration file for running your own Monero node. Nothing leaves your browser.

Quick start preset Start from a recommended config, then tweak as needed:

Network & storage Network:

Data directory (optional, where the blockchain is stored):

Enable blockchain pruning (saves ~2/3 of disk space)

Database sync mode:

RPC access RPC access mode:

Restricted RPC port (used in public mode):

Enable ZMQ RPC (needed by some wallets/tools, e.g. LWS)

P2P & peers P2P port (optional):

Max outgoing peers (optional):

Max incoming peers (optional):

Upload rate limit kB/s (optional):

Download rate limit kB/s (optional):

Disable UPnP/IGD port forwarding (recommended)

Privacy (Tor) Route transaction broadcasts over Tor (SOCKS proxy at 127.0.0.1:9050)

Tor hidden-service inbound address (optional):

Logging & advanced Log level (0 = least, 4 = most verbose):

Max number of log files to keep (optional):

Extra raw config lines (optional, one per line):

FAQs

What is this site?

This site lets you generate a monerod.conf configuration file for running your own Monero node, entirely within your browser. No data is sent anywhere.

What is a Monero node?

A Monero node runs monerod, the Monero daemon, which downloads and validates the blockchain and relays transactions across the peer-to-peer network. Running your own node means you don't have to trust a third party's node when using your wallet.

What's the difference between a private and a public node?

A local-only node binds its RPC to 127.0.0.1 so only you (or wallets on the same machine/LAN) can use it. A public restricted RPC node exposes a limited, read-only RPC interface so others on the network can connect their wallets to it, helping decentralize the network.

What is blockchain pruning?

Pruning discards most of the older, already-validated transaction data, reducing disk usage by roughly two-thirds while still fully validating the chain. It's a good option if you're short on disk space.

Where do I put the config file?

Anywhere you like. Common locations are /etc/monerod.conf or alongside your data directory. Then start the daemon with monerod --config-file /path/to/monerod.conf. For full details, see the monerod reference.

Is this site open source?

Yes! You can find the full source code on GitHub.
