Configuration

There are 3 ways to configure Semaphore:
​Snap configuration​
​Interactive setup​
​Configuration file​
Snap configuration
Snap configuration should be used for configuration Semaphore installed via Snap.
List of available option you can see by following command:
sudo snap get semaphore
You can change each of this option. For example if you want to change Semaphore port, use following command:
sudo snap set semaphore port=4444
Don't forget to restart Semaphore after that:
sudo snap restart semaphore
Interactive setup
Use this option for first time configuration (not working for Semaphore installed via Snap).
