# Configuration
import CodeBlock from '@theme/CodeBlock';
import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';
import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';
import {Version} from '@site/src/corsoEnv';
Two things are needed to configure Corso:
* Environment variables containing configuration information
* A directory for Corso to store its configuration file
## Environment variables
Three distinct pieces of configuration are required by Corso:
* S3 object storage configuration to store backups. See [AWS Credentials Setup](../repos#s3-creds-setup) for
alternate ways to pass AWS credentials.
* `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`: Access key for an IAM user or role for accessing an S3 bucket
* `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`: Secret key associated with the access key
* (Optional) `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`: Session token required when using temporary credentials
* Microsoft 365 Configuration
* `AZURE_CLIENT_ID`: Client ID for your Azure AD application used to access your M365 tenant
* `AZURE_TENANT_ID`: ID for the M365 tenant where the Azure AD application is registered
* `AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET`: Azure secret for your Azure AD application used to access your M365 tenant
* Corso Security Passphrase
* `CORSO_PASSPHRASE`: Passphrase to protect encrypted repository contents

Ensure that all of the above environment variables are defined in your Powershell environment.
```powershell
$Env:AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = "..."
$Env:AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "..."
$Env:AWS_SESSION_TOKEN = ""
$Env:AZURE_CLIENT_ID = "..."
$Env:AZURE_TENANT_ID = "..."
$Env:AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET = "..."
$Env:CORSO_PASSPHRASE = "CHANGE-ME-THIS-IS-INSECURE"

Ensure that all of the above environment variables are defined in your shell environment.
```bash
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=...
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID=...
export AZURE_TENANT_ID=...
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=...

For ease of use with Docker, we recommend adding the names of the required environment variables (but not their
values!) to a [Docker environment variables file](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/#set-environment-variables--e---env---env-file).
To create the environment variables file, you can run the following command:
```bash
# Create an environment variables file
mkdir -p $HOME/.corso
cat <<EOF > $HOME/.corso/corso.env
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
AWS_SESSION_TOKEN
AZURE_CLIENT_ID
AZURE_TENANT_ID
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET
CORSO_PASSPHRASE
EOF
# Export required variables
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=...
export AZURE_CLIENT_ID=...
export AZURE_TENANT_ID=...
export AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=...
export CORSO_PASSPHRASE=CHANGE-ME-THIS-IS-INSECURE
```

## Configuration File
<Tabs groupId="os">
<TabItem value="win" label="Powershell">
By default, Corso stores its configuration file (`.corso.toml`) in the user's home directory.
The location of the configuration file can be specified using the `--config-file` option.

<TabItem value="unix" label="Linux/macOS">
By default, Corso stores its configuration file (`.corso.toml`) in the user's home directory.

</TabItem>
<TabItem value="docker" label="Docker">
To preserve configuration across container runs, Corso requires access to a directory outside of its Docker container
to read or create its configuration file (`.corso.toml`). This directory must be mapped, by Docker, to the `/app/corso`
directory within the container.
<CodeBlock language="bash">{
`docker run --env-file $HOME/.corso/corso.env \\
--volume $HOME/.corso:/app/corso ghcr.io/alcionai/corso:${Version()} \\
<command> <command options>`
}</CodeBlock>
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## Log Files
The default location of Corso's log file is shown below but the location can be overridden by using the `--log-file` flag.
You can also use `stdout` or `stderr` as the `--log-file` location to redirect the logs to "stdout" and "stderr" respectively.
