Node configuration
Data structure
By default, the database and configuration files for the Iron Fish node are created in the ~./ironfish directory.
The file structure is composed of the following:
[Iron Fish Node]
├── accounts
...└── default
├── config.json
├── internal.json
└── databases
...└── default
Configuration files can be edited by the commands described here. Accounts can be edited by the commands described here
You can change the working directory by passing the flag --datadir when running a command. Doing so will require you to sync the node again with the network.
