Designate Configuration Guide
=============================

Designate configuration is needed for getting it work correctly
either with real OpenStack environment or without OpenStack environment.

**NOTE:** The most of the following operations should performed in designate
directory.

.. index::
    double: configure; designate

#. Create the designate.conf file

    ::

      $ editor designate.conf

#. Copy or mirror the configuration from this sample file here:

    .. literalinclude:: ../examples/basic-config-sample.conf
        :language: ini

#. You can generate full sample *designate.conf* (if it does not already exist)::

    $ oslo-config-generator --config-file etc/designate/designate-config-generator.conf --output-file /etc/designate/designate.conf

.. literalinclude:: ../_static/designate.conf.sample
    :language: ini
