Custom settings

You can change the default settings by creating a settings.json file. The file should be located in the cihome/state directory. This file will make your changes persist across restarts. Example file:


{
  "dnsIp": "9.9.9.9",
  "domain": "mydomain.com"
}

Be sure that the content is a valid JSON format. You can easily check for validity in an online tool like JSONLint
