Configuring the WAPT console¶

Hint

The configuration file for the WAPT console is stored in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\waptconsole\waptconsole.ini. This file is automatically generated when the waptconsole is first launched and it is generated from the wapt-get.ini file configured on the Administrator’s workstation.

Several options are available in the [global] section of the waptconsole.ini file:

Configuring external repositories¶

You may add several external repositories by adding [sections] in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\waptconsole\waptconsole.ini.

Example:

[store.wapt.fr]
repo_url=https://store.wapt.fr/waptdev
verify_cert=1
http_proxy=http://proxy.mydomain.lan:8080
public_certs_dir=
timeout=2

[otherwapt.tranquil.it]
repo_url=https://otherwapt.tranquil.it/waptdev
verify_cert=0
http_proxy=
public_certs_dir=c:\Users\admin\Documents\ssl\otherwapt\
timeout=2
