NAME

       dnf.conf - DNF Configuration Reference

DESCRIPTION

       DNF  by  default  uses  the  global configuration file at /etc/dnf/dnf.conf and all *.repo
       files  found  under  /etc/yum.repos.d.  The  latter  is  typically  used  for   repository
       configuration and takes precedence over global configuration.

       The  configuration  file  has  INI format consisting of section declaration and name=value
       options below each on separate line. There are two types of sections in the  configuration
       files:  main  and  repository.  Main  section defines all global configuration options and
       should be only one.

       The repository sections define the configuration for each (remote  or  local)  repository.
       The  section  name  of the repository in brackets serve as repo ID reference and should be
       unique across configuration files. The allowed characters of repo ID string are lower  and
       upper   case  alphabetic  letters,  digits,  -,  _,  .   and  :.  The  minimal  repository
       configuration file should aside from repo ID consists of baseurl, metalink  or  mirrorlist
       option definition.

DISTRIBUTION-SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION

       Configuration  options,  namely  best  and  skip_if_unavailable,  can  be  set  in the DNF
       configuration file by your distribution to override the DNF defaults.

[MAIN] OPTIONS

       allow_vendor_change
              boolean

              If disabled dnf will stick to vendor when upgrading or downgrading  rpms.   Default
              is True

              WARNING:
                 This option is currently not supported for downgrade and distro-sync commands

       arch   string

              The  architecture  used  for installing packages. By default this is auto-detected.
              Often used together with ignorearch option.

       assumeno
              boolean

              If enabled dnf will assume No where it would normally prompt for confirmation  from
              user input. Default is False.

       assumeyes
              boolean

              If enabled dnf will assume Yes where it would normally prompt for confirmation from
              user input (see also defaultyes). Default is False.

       autocheck_running_kernel
              boolean

              Automatic check whether there is installed newer kernel module with security update
              than currently running kernel. Default is True.

       basearch
              string

              The   base   architecture   used  for  installing  packages.  By  default  this  is
              auto-detected.

       best   boolean

              True instructs the solver to either  use  a  package  with  the  highest  available
              version  or  fail.  On False, do not fail if the latest version cannot be installed
              and go with the  lower  version.  The  default  is  False.   Note  this  option  in
              particular  can  be  set in your configuration file by your distribution. Also note
              that the use of the highest available version is only guaranteed for  the  packages
              directly requested and not for their dependencies.

       cachedir
              string

              Path  to  a directory used by various DNF subsystems for storing cache data.  Has a
              reasonable root-writable default depending on the distribution.  DNF  needs  to  be
              able to create files and directories at this location.

       cacheonly
              boolean

              If  set  to True DNF will run entirely from system cache, will not update the cache
              and will use it even in case it is expired. Default is False.

              API Notes: Must be set before repository objects are created. Plugins must set this
              in the pre_config hook. Later changes are ignored.

       check_config_file_age
              boolean

              Specifies  whether  dnf  should  automatically  expire metadata of repos, which are
              older than their corresponding configuration file (usually the  dnf.conf  file  and
              the  foo.repo  file).   Default  is True (perform the check). Expire of metadata is
              also affected by metadata age.  See also metadata_expire.

       clean_requirements_on_remove
              boolean

              Remove dependencies that are no longer used  during  dnf  remove.  A  package  only
              qualifies  for removal via clean_requirements_on_remove if it was installed through
              DNF but not on explicit user request, i.e. it was pulled in as  a  dependency.  The
              default is True.  (installonlypkgs are never automatically removed.)

       config_file_path
              string

              Path to the default main configuration file. Default is /etc/dnf/dnf.conf.

       debuglevel
              integer

              Debug  messages  output level, in the range 0 to 10. The higher the number the more
              debug output is put to stdout. Default is 2.

       debug_solver
              boolean

              Controls whether the libsolv  debug  files  should  be  created  when  solving  the
              transaction.  The debug files are created in the ./debugdata directory.  Default is
              False.

       defaultyes
              boolean

              If enabled the default answer to user confirmation prompts will be Yes. Not  to  be
              confused with assumeyes which will not prompt at all. Default is False.

       diskspacecheck
              boolean

              Controls  whether  rpm  should  check  available disk space during the transaction.
              Default is True.

       errorlevel
              integer

              Error messages output level, in the range 0 to 10. The higher the number  the  more
              error  output  is  put  to  stderr.  Default  is  3.  This is deprecated in DNF and
              overwritten by --verbose commandline option.

       exclude_from_weak
              list

              Prevent installing packages as weak dependencies (recommends or  supplements).  The
              packages can be specified by a name or a glob and separated by a comma. Defaults to
              [].

       exclude_from_weak_autodetect
              boolean

              If enabled, dnf will autodetect unmet weak dependencies (recommends or supplements)
              of  packages installed on the system. Providers of these weak dependencies will not
              be installed by dnf as weak dependencies any more (they will still be installed  if
              pulled in as a regular dependency). Defaults to true.

       exit_on_lock
              boolean

              Should the dnf client exit immediately when something else has the lock. Default is
              False.

       gpgkey_dns_verification
              boolean

              Should the dnf attempt to automatically verify GPG verification keys using the  DNS
              system.  This  option  requires  the  unbound python module (python3-unbound) to be
              installed on the client system. This system has two main features. The first one is
              to  check if any of the already installed keys have been revoked. Automatic removal
              of the key is not yet available, so it is up to the user, to  remove  revoked  keys
              from  the  system.  The second feature is automatic verification of new keys when a
              repository is added to the system. In interactive mode, the result  is  written  to
              the  output  as  a suggestion to the user. In non-interactive mode (i.e. when -y is
              used), this system will automatically accept keys that are available in the DNS and
              are  correctly  signed  using DNSSEC. It will also accept keys that do not exist in
              the DNS system and their NON-existence is cryptographically  proven  using  DNSSEC.
              This is mainly to preserve backward compatibility.  Default is False.

       group_package_types
              list

              List  of  the  following:  optional,  default,  mandatory.  Tells dnf which type of
              packages in groups will be installed when 'groupinstall'  is  called.  Default  is:
              default, mandatory.

       ignorearch
              boolean

              If  set  to True, RPM will allow attempts to install packages incompatible with the
              CPU's architecture. Defaults to False. Often used together with arch option.

       installonlypkgs
              list

              List of provide names of  packages  that  should  only  ever  be  installed,  never
              upgraded.  Kernels in particular fall into this category.  These packages are never
              removed by dnf  autoremove  even  if  they  were  installed  as  dependencies  (see
              clean_requirements_on_remove  for  auto  removal  details).  This option append the
              list values to the default installonlypkgs list used by DNF.  The  number  of  kept
              package versions is regulated by installonly_limit.

       installonly_limit
              integer

              Number of installonly packages allowed to be installed concurrently. Defaults to 3.
              The minimal number of installonly packages is 2. Value 0 means unlimited number  of
              installonly packages. Value 1 is explicitly not allowed since it complicates kernel
              upgrades due to protection of the running kernel from removal.

       installroot
              string

              The root of the filesystem for all packaging operations. It  requires  an  absolute
              path. See also --installroot commandline option.

       install_weak_deps
              boolean

              When  this  option  is  set to True and a new package is about to be installed, all
              packages linked by weak dependency relation (Recommends or Supplements flags)  with
              this package will be pulled into the transaction.  Default is True.

       keepcache
              boolean

              Keeps downloaded packages in the cache when set to True. Even if it is set to False
              and packages have not been installed they will still persist until next  successful
              transaction. The default is False.

       logdir string

              Directory where the log files will be stored. Default is /var/log.

       logfilelevel
              integer

              Log  file  messages  output  level, in the range 0 to 10. The higher the number the
              more debug output is put to logs. Default is 9.

              This  option   controls   dnf.log,   dnf.librepo.log   and   hawkey.log.   Although
              dnf.librepo.log and hawkey.log are affected only by setting the logfilelevel to 10.

       log_compress
              boolean

              When set to True, log files are compressed when they are rotated. Default is False.

       log_rotate
              integer

              Log  files  are  rotated log_rotate times before being removed. If log_rotate is 0,
              the rotation is not performed.  Default is 4.

       log_size
              storage size

              Log  files are rotated when they grow bigger than log_size bytes. If log_size is 0,
              the rotation is not performed. The default is 1 MB. Valid units are 'k', 'M', 'G'.

              The  size applies for individual log files, not the sum of all log files.  See also
              log_rotate.

       metadata_timer_sync
              time in seconds

              The minimal period between two consecutive makecache timer runs. The  command  will
              stop  immediately  if  it's less than this time period since its last run. Does not
              affect simple makecache  run.  Use  0  to  completely  disable  automatic  metadata
              synchronizing.  The default corresponds to three hours. The value is rounded to the
              next commenced hour.

       module_obsoletes
              boolean

              This option controls whether dnf should  apply  modular  obsoletes  when  possible.
              Default is False.

       module_platform_id
              string

              Set  this  to  $name:$stream to override PLATFORM_ID detected from /etc/os-release.
              It is necessary to perform a system upgrade and switch to a new platform.

       module_stream_switch
              boolean

              This option controls whether it's possible to switch enabled streams of  a  module.
              Default is False.

       multilib_policy
              string

              Controls how multilib packages are treated during install operations. Can either be
              "best" (the default) for the depsolver to prefer  packages  which  best  match  the
              system's   architecture,   or   "all"   to   install  packages  for  all  available
              architectures.

       obsoletes
              boolean

              This option only has affect during an install/update. It  enables  dnf's  obsoletes
              processing  logic, which means it makes dnf check whether any dependencies of given
              package are no longer required and removes them.  Useful  when  doing  distribution
              level upgrades.  Default is 'true'.

              Command-line option: --obsoletes

       persistdir
              string

              Directory   where   DNF  stores  its  persistent  data  between  runs.  Default  is
              "/var/lib/dnf".

       pluginconfpath
              list

              List of directories that are  searched  for  plugin  configurations  to  load.  All
              configuration  files  found  in these directories, that are named same as a plugin,
              are parsed. The default path is /etc/dnf/plugins.

       pluginpath
              list

              List of directories that are searched for plugins to load. Plugins found in any  of
              the  directories  in  this  configuration  option  are used. The default contains a
              Python version-specific path.

       plugins
              boolean

              Controls whether the plugins are enabled. Default is True.

       protected_packages
              list

              List of packages that DNF should never completely remove. They  are  protected  via
              Obsoletes as well as user/plugin removals.

              The       default      is:      dnf,      glob:/etc/yum/protected.d/*.conf      and
              glob:/etc/dnf/protected.d/*.conf. So any packages which should be protected can  do
              so by including a file in /etc/dnf/protected.d with their package name in it.

              DNF  will  protect  also  the  package  corresponding to the running version of the
              kernel. See also protect_running_kernel option.

       protect_running_kernel
              boolean

              Controls whether the package corresponding to the  running  version  of  kernel  is
              protected from removal. Default is True.

       releasever
              string

              Used  for  substitution  of  $releasever in the repository configuration.  See also
              repo variables.

       reposdir
              list

              DNF searches for repository configuration files in the paths specified by reposdir.
              The  behavior  of  reposdir  could  differ when it is used along with --installroot
              option.

       rpmverbosity
              string

              RPM debug scriptlet output level. One of: critical, emergency, error, warn, info or
              debug. Default is info.

       strict boolean

              If disabled, all unavailable packages or packages with broken dependencies given to
              DNF command will be skipped without raising the error causing the  whole  operation
              to fail. Currently works for install command only. The default is True.

       tsflags
              list

              List of strings adding extra flags for the RPM transaction.

                                  ┌─────────────┬────────────────────────────┐

                                  └─────────────┴────────────────────────────┘

              The nocrypto option will also set the _RPMVSF_NOSIGNATURES and _RPMVSF_NODIGESTS VS
              flags. The  test  option  provides  a  transaction  check  without  performing  the
              transaction.  It  includes  downloading  of  packages,  gpg  keys  check (including
              permanent import of additional keys if necessary), and rpm check  to  prevent  file
              conflicts.  The nocaps is supported with rpm-4.14 or later. When nocaps is used but
              rpm doesn't support it, DNF only reports it as an invalid tsflag.

       upgrade_group_objects_upgrade
              boolean

              Set this to False to disable the automatic running of group  upgrade  when  running
              the upgrade command. Default is True (perform the operation).

       varsdir
              list

              List  of  directories  where variables definition files are looked for. Defaults to
              "/etc/dnf/vars", "/etc/yum/vars". See variable files in Configuration reference.

       zchunk boolean

              Enables or disables the use of repository  metadata  compressed  using  the  zchunk
              format (if available). Default is True.

[MAIN] OPTIONS - COLORS

       color  string

              Controls  if DNF uses colored output on the command line.  Possible values: "auto",
              "never", "always". Default is "auto".

       color_list_available_downgrade
              color

              Color of available packages that are older than installed packages.  The option  is
              used during list operations. Default is magenta.

       color_search_match
              color

              Color of patterns matched in search output. Default is bold,magenta.

       color_update_installed
              color

              Color  of  removed packages. Default is red.  This option is used during displaying
              transactions.

       color_update_local
              color

              Color of local packages that are installed from the @commandline repository.   This

              color

              Color  of packages that are installed/upgraded/downgraded from remote repositories.
              This option is used during displaying transactions. Default is bold,green.

REPO OPTIONS

       baseurl
              list

              List of URLs for the repository. Defaults to [].

              URLs are tried in the listed order (equivalent to  yum's  "failovermethod=priority"
              behaviour).

       cost   integer

              The  relative  cost of accessing this repository, defaulting to 1000. This value is
              compared when the priorities of two repositories are the same. The repository  with
              the  lowest  cost  is  picked.  It  is  useful  to  make the library prefer on-disk
              repositories to remote ones.

       enabled
              boolean

              Include this repository as a package source. The default is True.

       gpgkey list of strings

              URLs of a GPG key files that can be used for signing metadata and packages of  this
              repository,  empty  by  default.  If  a  file can not be verified using the already
              imported keys, import of keys from this option is attempted and the keys  are  then
              used for verification.

       metalink
              string

              URL of a metalink for the repository. Defaults to None.

       mirrorlist
              string

              URL of a mirrorlist for the repository. Defaults to None.

       module_hotfixes
              boolean

              Set  this  to  True  to  disable  module  RPM  filtering and make all RPMs from the
              repository available.  The  default  is  False.   This  allows  user  to  create  a
              repository  with  cherry-picked  hotfixes  that  are included in a package set on a
              modular system.

       name   string

              A human-readable name of the repository. Defaults to the ID of the repository.

       priority
              integer

              The priority value of this repository, default is 99. If there  is  more  than  one
              candidate  package  for a particular operation, the one from a repo with the lowest
              priority value is picked, possibly despite being less convenient otherwise (e.g. by
              being a lower version).

       type   string

              Type  of  repository  metadata.  Supported values are: rpm-md.  Aliases for rpm-md:
              rpm, repomd, rpmmd, yum, YUM.

REPO VARIABLES

       Right side of every repo option can be enriched by the following variables:

       $arch
          Refers to the system’s CPU architecture e.g, aarch64, i586, i686 and x86_64.

       $basearch
          Refers to the base architecture of the system. For example, i686 and i586 machines both
          have  a  base  architecture  of  i386,  and  AMD64  and  Intel64  machines  have a base
          architecture of x86_64.

       $releasever
          Refers to the release version of operating system which DNF  derives  from  information
          available in RPMDB.

       In addition to these hard coded variables, user-defined ones can also be used. They can be
       defined either via variable files, or by using special environmental variables. The  names
       of  these  variables  must  be  prefixed  with  DNF_VAR_  and  they  can  only  consist of
       alphanumeric characters and underscores:

          $ DNF_VAR_MY_VARIABLE=value

       To use such variable in your repository configuration remove the prefix. E.g.:

          [myrepo]
          baseurl=https://example.site/pub/fedora/$MY_VARIABLE/releases/$releasever

       Note that it is not possible to override the arch  and  basearch  variables  using  either
       variable files or environmental variables.

       Although users are encouraged to use named variables, the numbered environmental variables
       DNF0 - DNF9 are still supported:

          $ DNF1=value

          [myrepo]
          baseurl=https://example.site/pub/fedora/$DNF1/releases/$releasever

OPTIONS FOR BOTH [MAIN] AND REPO

       Some options can be  applied  in  either  the  main  section,  per  repository,  or  in  a
       combination.  The  value  provided in the main section is used for all repositories as the
       default value, which repositories can then override in their configuration.

       bandwidth
              storage size

              Total bandwidth available for downloading. Meaningful when used with  the  throttle
              option.  Storage  size  is  in bytes by default but can be specified with a unit of
              storage. Valid units are 'k', 'M', 'G'.

       countme
              boolean

              Determines whether a special flag should be added  to  a  single,  randomly  chosen
              metalink/mirrorlist  query each week.  This allows the repository owner to estimate
              the number of systems consuming it, by counting such queries over  a  week's  time,
              which  is  much  more  accurate  than  just  counting unique IP addresses (which is
              subject to both overcounting and undercounting due to short DHCP  leases  and  NAT,
              respectively).

              The  flag is a simple "countme=N" parameter appended to the metalink and mirrorlist
              URL, where N is an integer representing the "longevity" bucket this system  belongs
              to.   The following 4 buckets are defined, based on how many full weeks have passed
              since the beginning of the week when this system was installed: 1 = first week, 2 =
              first  month  (2-4 weeks), 3 = six months (5-24 weeks) and 4 = more than six months
              (> 24 weeks).  This information is meant to help distinguish  short-lived  installs
              from long-term ones, and to gather other statistics about system lifecycle.

              Default is False.

       deltarpm
              boolean

              When  enabled, DNF will save bandwidth by downloading much smaller delta RPM files,
              rebuilding them to RPM locally. However, this  is  quite  CPU  and  I/O  intensive.
              Default is True.

       deltarpm_percentage
              integer

              When  the  relative  size  of  delta vs pkg is larger than this, delta is not used.
              Default value is 75 (Deltas must be at least 25% smaller than the pkg).  Use  0  to
              turn off delta rpm processing. Local repositories (with file:// baseurl) have delta
              rpms turned off by default.

       enablegroups
              boolean

              Determines whether DNF will allow the use of package groups  for  this  repository.
              Default is True (package groups are allowed).

       excludepkgs
              list

              Exclude packages of this repository, specified by a name or a glob and separated by
              a comma, from all operations.  Can be disabled using --disableexcludes command line
              switch.  Defaults to [].

       fastestmirror
              boolean

              If  enabled  a  metric is used to find the fastest available mirror. This overrides
              the order provided by the mirrorlist/metalink  file  itself.  This  file  is  often
              dynamically  generated  by  the  server  to  provide  the  best download speeds and
              enabling fastestmirror overrides this. The default is False.

       gpgcheck
              boolean

              Whether to perform GPG signature check on packages found in this  repository.   The
              default is False.

              This  option can only be used to strengthen the active RPM security policy set with
              the %_pkgverify_level macro (see the /usr/lib/rpm/macros file for  details).   That
              means,  if  the  macro  is set to 'signature' or 'all' and this option is False, it
              will be overridden to True during DNF runtime, and a warning will be  printed.   To
              squelch  the  warning,  make sure this option is True for every enabled repository,
              and also enable localpkg_gpgcheck.

       includepkgs
              list

              Include packages of this repository, specified by a name or a glob and separated by
              a  comma,  in all operations.  Inverse of excludepkgs, DNF will exclude any package
              in the repository that doesn't match this list.  This  works  in  conjunction  with
              excludepkgs   and   doesn't   override  it,  so  if  you  'excludepkgs=*.i386'  and
              'includepkgs=python*' then only packages starting with python that do not  have  an
              i386   arch   will   be   seen  by  DNF  in  this  repo.   Can  be  disabled  using
              --disableexcludes command line switch.  Defaults to [].

       ip_resolve
              IP address type

              Determines how DNF resolves host names. Set this to  '4'/'IPv4'  or  '6'/'IPv6'  to
              resolve  to  IPv4  or  IPv6  addresses  only.  By  default,  DNF resolves to either
              addresses.

       localpkg_gpgcheck
              boolean

              Whether to perform a GPG signature check on local packages (packages in a file, not
              in  a repository).  The default is False.  This option is subject to the active RPM
              security policy (see gpgcheck for more details).

       max_parallel_downloads
              integer

              Maximum number of simultaneous package downloads. Defaults to 3. Maximum of 20.

       metadata_expire
              time in seconds

              The period after which the remote repository is checked for metadata update and  in
              the  positive  case the local metadata cache is updated. The default corresponds to
              48 hours. Set this to -1 or never to make the repo never considered expired. Expire
              of  metadata  can  be  also triggered by change of timestamp of configuration files
              (dnf.conf, <repo>.repo). See also check_config_file_age.

       minrate
              storage size

              This sets the low speed threshold in bytes per second. If  the  server  is  sending
              data  at  the  same  or  slower  speed  than this value for at least timeout option
              seconds, DNF aborts the connection. The default is 1000. Valid units are 'k',  'M',
              'G'.

       password
              string

              The  password to use for connecting to a repository with basic HTTP authentication.
              Empty by default.

       proxy  string

              URL of a proxy server to connect through. Set to an empty string in the  repository
              configuration  to  disable  proxy  setting  inherited  from  the  main section. The
              expected  format  of  this  option  is  <scheme>://<ip-or-hostname>[:port].    (For
              backward compatibility, '_none_' can be used instead of the empty string.)

              Note:  The  curl  environment  variables (such as http_proxy) are effective if this
              option is unset (or '_none_' is set in the repository configuration). See the  curl
              man page for details.

       proxy_username
              string

              The username to use for connecting to the proxy server. Empty by default.

       proxy_password
              string

              The password to use for connecting to the proxy server. Empty by default.

       proxy_auth_method
              string

              The authentication method used by the proxy server. Valid values are

              Defaults to any

       proxy_sslcacert
              string

              Path to the file  containing  the  certificate  authorities  to  verify  proxy  SSL
              certificates.  Empty by default - uses system default.

       proxy_sslverify
              boolean

              When  enabled,  proxy  SSL  certificates  are  verified.  If  the client can not be
              authenticated, connecting fails and the repository is  not  used  any  further.  If
              False,  SSL  connections can be used, but certificates are not verified. Default is
              True.

       proxy_sslclientcert
              string

              Path to the SSL client certificate used to  connect  to  proxy  server.   Empty  by
              default.

       proxy_sslclientkey
              string

              Path to the SSL client key used to connect to proxy server.  Empty by default.

       repo_gpgcheck
              boolean

              Whether  to  perform GPG signature check on this repository's metadata. The default
              is False.  Note that GPG keys for this check are stored separately  from  GPG  keys
              used   in  package  signature  verification.  Furthermore,  they  are  also  stored
              separately for each repository.

              This means that dnf may ask to import the same key  multiple  times.  For  example,
              when  a key was already imported for package signature verification and this option
              is turned on, it may be needed to import it again for the repository.

       retries
              integer

              Set  the  number  of  total  retries  for  downloading  packages.  The  number   is
              accumulative,  so  e.g.  for  retries=10,  dnf will fail after any package download
              fails for eleventh time. Setting this to 0 makes dnf try forever. Default is 10.

       skip_if_unavailable
              boolean

              If enabled, DNF will continue running and disable the repository that  couldn't  be
              synchronized  for  any  reason.  This option doesn't affect skipping of unavailable
              packages after dependency resolution. To check inaccessibility of repository use it
              in  combination  with refresh command line option. The default is False.  Note this
              option in particular can be set in your configuration file by your distribution.

       sslcacert
              string

              Path to the file containing the certificate authorities to verify SSL certificates.
              Empty by default - uses system default.

       sslverify
              boolean

              When  enabled,  remote  SSL  certificates  are  verified.  If the client can not be
              authenticated, connecting fails and the repository is  not  used  any  further.  If
              False,  SSL  connections can be used, but certificates are not verified. Default is
              True.

       sslverifystatus
              boolean

              When enabled, revocation status of the server certificate  is  verified  using  the
              "Certificate Status Request" TLS extension (aka. OCSP stapling). Default is False.

       sslclientcert
