# main TCP port for RoomService and RTC endpoint
# for production setups, this port should be placed behind a load balancer with TLS
port: 7880

# when redis is set, LiveKit will automatically operate in a fully distributed fashion
# clients could connect to any node and be routed to the same room
redis:
  address: redis.host:6379
  # To require TLS transport
  # use_tls: true
  # db: 0
  # username: myuser
  # password: mypassword
  # To use sentinel remove the address key above and add the following
  # sentinel_master_name: livekit
  # sentinel_addresses:
  # - livekit-redis-node-0.livekit-redis-headless:26379
  # - livekit-redis-node-1.livekit-redis-headless:26379
  # If you use a different set of credentials for sentinel add
  # sentinel_username: user
  # sentinel_password: pass
  #
  # To use cluster remove the address key above and add the following
  # cluster_addresses:
  # - livekit-redis-node-0.livekit-redis-headless:6379
  # - livekit-redis-node-1.livekit-redis-headless:6380
  # And it will use the password key above as cluster password
  # And the db key will not be used due to cluster mode not support it.
