Where Does Xdx Store Config?

Xdx keeps cluster profiles and filters in a config file in home on Linux. Common path and what it holds.

Last updated

Xdx is a thin DX cluster client with its settings in a config file in home. Host profiles, login calls, filters and window geometry live there. Spots flow through without landing on disk.

The exact config filename can vary by Xdx version, so treat the path below as the common location and confirm it against a fresh save before scripting backups. Copy it with the app quit and every cluster behaves the same.

Where Xdx stores this, by platform

Linux
~/.config/xdx/config

Common location for cluster profiles, filters and window geometry. Spots stream live without local history. The filename can vary by version, so confirm with a fresh save first.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move Xdx settings?

Copy the xdx config to the same relative path on the new machine with Xdx quit. Cluster profiles, filters and layouts travel together. Spots themselves stream live, so the file only restores presentation and connection choices.

Where is my spot history?

Nowhere permanent. Xdx shows live cluster spots without logging them. Enable a separate logger or pipe highlights to a file for records. The config only decides which spots surface, not their history.
