Configuration

Weaviate CLI allows you to configure your cluster endpoints and parameters through a configuration file. By default, the CLI looks for a configuration file at ~/.config/weaviate/config.json. If this file does not exist, it will be created with the following default values:

{
    "host": "localhost",
    "http_port": "8080",
    "grpc_port": "50051"
}

You can also specify your own configuration file using the --config-file option:

weaviate-cli --config-file /path/to/your/config.json

The configuration file should be a JSON file with the following structure:

{
    "host": "your-weaviate-host",
    "http_port": "your-http-port",
    "grpc_port": "your-grpc-port",
    "auth": {
        "type": "api_key",
        "api_key": "your-api-key"
    }
}

If you are using a remote Weaviate instance, you can use the weaviate-cli command to authenticate with your Weaviate instance. Here you can see an example on how the configuration file should look like if you are connecting to a WCD cluster:

 {
     "host": "thisisaninventedcluster.url.s3.us-west3.prov.weaviate.cloud",
     "auth": {
         "type": "api_key",
         "api_key": "jfeRFsdfRfSasgsDoNOtTrYToUsErRQwqqdZfghasd"
     }
 }
