Where Does Apollo Store Config and Pairings?
Apollo mirrors the Sunshine layout with config and pairing data in its app folders per OS.
Last updated
Apollo continues the Sunshine streaming host layout, so config files, pairing keys, and log folders sit in the same per OS app data spots. Exact folder names track the fork, so confirm once after install.
Back up pairing data with the config to keep Moonlight clients trusted. Logs help debug encoder failures. Keep the host version matched across machines sharing one config copy.
Where Apollo stores this, by platform
%AppData%\Apollo (config and pairings)
Sunshine style layout under the fork folder name. Copy with the service stopped. Pairings restore client trust.
~/.config/Apollo (config and pairings)
Same fork layout under XDG config. Confirm exact names per release since the fork is young and moving fast.
Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate Apollo to a new host?
Copy the config plus pairing data to the matching OS path and reinstall the host. Re-pair Moonlight clients that refuse the restored keys.
Where are Apollo logs?
Beside the config in the per OS app folder. Check encoder lines first when streams fail to start, then compare versions between host and client.
