storage Stanza
The storage stanza configures the storage backend, which represents the
location for the durable storage of Vault's information. Each backend has pros,
cons, advantages, and trade-offs. For example, some backends support high
availability while others provide a more robust backup and restoration process.
For information about a specific backend, choose one from the navigation on the
left.
Configuration
Storage backend configuration is done through the Vault configuration file using
the storage stanza:
storage [NAME] {
[PARAMETERS...]
}
For example:
storage "file" {
path = "/mnt/vault/data"
}
For configuration options which also read an environment variable, the environment variable will take precedence over values in the configuration file.
