Configuration

Sudu works out of the box without any configuration steps needed. There are still some options to change which are explained below. All the configuration options are stored in a .env file. Initially this file doesn’t exist as Sudu runs perfectly with the default options. All possible options are explained on the laravel documentation page.

To get you started, copy the .env.sample to .env and adapt it to your needs.
