Where Is the Senpai Config File?
Senpai IRC client config and logs on Linux, macOS and Windows.
Last updated
Senpai keeps one config file per OS config home plus logs beside it. Networks, nick and TLS choices live there.
There is no daemon state to hunt. Copying the file moves servers between machines. Permissions should stay tight since passwords can sit inside.
Where Senpai stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\senpai\senpai.yaml
Main config (networks, nick, highlights). Logs sit beside config by default. Exact folder casing may vary by build.
~/.config/senpai/senpai.yaml
Same XDG style path on Mac. Fix perms to 600 when the file holds SASL passwords. Check the homescreen for the live path when unsure.
~/.config/senpai/senpai.yaml
Follows XDG config home. Logs default nearby. Copy the file plus any cert lines to migrate networks cleanly.
Frequently asked questions
Where is senpai.yaml?
In the senpai config dir above per OS. That file holds networks plus auth. Validate indentation after edits; YAML spacing breaks connects silently.
Where are Senpai logs?
Beside config in the same dir unless the file overrides log paths. Copy logs separately when keeping chat history; config alone restores servers without backscroll.
