Configuration via GUI
The FEXConfig tool provides a graphical user interface to edit FEX configuration. On first use, it will load default settings and save them to .fex-emu/Config.json.
Setup Rootfs
The General tab in FEXConfig contains the rootfs configuration.
- Named RootFS folders option shows RootFS installed in $HOME/.fex-emu/RootFS/
- sqsh files and folders are selectable here
- Selecting an option in the Named RootFS option will set the name in RootFS
- If your x86 RootFS is in an absolute folder elsewhere, you can place the absolute path in the RootFS option
Manual Configuration
The FEX main configuration file lives at $HOME/.fex-emu/Config.json
- or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.fex-emu/Config.json if you use XDG).
This is a JSON file that holds all of our settings. The basic structure is as follows:
{
"Config": {
"Threads": "0",
"MaxInst": "500",
"RootFS": "Ubuntu_21_10"
}
}
There are a fair number of configuration options to tinker with. You can see a full suite of configuration option in the FEX man pages.
- man FEX - To see the options
- Under the ENVIRONMENT section there is each option's ENVIRONMENT override
- Additionally each option has a "JSON key" name that shows the Key inside of the Config.json file
- Every option is a string inside of the config and will be reinterpreted to their programmatic type at load
