# vps.conf(5)

configuration file for a Virtual Environment.

## NAME

vps.conf - configuration file for a Virtual Environment.

## SYNOPSIS

/etc/vz/conf/XXX.conf

## DESCRIPTION

This is a configuration file for a VE. It is stored as **/etc/vz/conf/***veid***.conf**, where *veid* is the ID of the given VE.

Configuration file consists of lines in the form

**PARAMETER**="*value*"

All parameter names and values are case-sensitive. Quotes surrounding a *value* are required if value contains spaces, and are optional otherwise. Extra spaces are not allowed. All unrecognized lines will be ignored.

Please note that the file is created/modified by the **[vzctl(8)](/vzctl/8.md)** command with the *set --save* arguments, therefore changes to this file made otherwise than by **[vzctl(8)](/vzctl/8.md)** can be lost during the next **vzctl** run.

The meaning of each parameter is described in **[vzctl(8)](/vzctl/8.md)**, so here only the appropriate **vzctl set** option is given.
