Configuration

MetaKB DB URL

Use the environment variable METAKB_DB_URL to configure a connection to Neo4j, in the format of "<protocol>://<username>:<password>@<host>". The default value is bolt://neo4j:neo4j@localhost:7687.

Data directory

During the process of data ingestion and upload, MetaKB generates a number of intermediate data objects. Organized by source and by type, these are stored within a data directory that can be set globally with the METAKB_DATA_DIR environment variable. Otherwise, the default location is determined by the wags-tails library (~/.local/share/wags-tails/metakb, absent further configuration). See the wags-tails documentation for more information.
