2501 uses three configuration files, all generated by the init command with sensible defaults and documentation.

Configuration Files Overview

​
2501.yaml

The main configuration file controls:
  • Registry - 2501 private ECR registry URL and authentication
  • Deploy - Target platform, image tag, stack name
  • Engine - Port, replicas, resource limits
  • Command Center - Port, replicas, resource limits
  • PostgreSQL - Optional managed database (experiments only)
  • Swarm - Network and update strategy settings
The generated 2501.yaml file includes inline comments documenting all available options and their defaults.
