Environment Variables¶

Below I have tried to list all environment variables that can be used to modify the behaviour of Chatterino. Used for things that I don't feel like fit in the settings system.

Currently known valid ports for secure usage: 6697, 443.
Currently known valid ports for non-secure usage (CHATTERINO2_TWITCH_SERVER_SECURE set to false): 6667, 80.
Default value: 443

CHATTERINO2_TWITCH_SERVER_SECURE¶

Bool value used to tell Chatterino whether to try to connect securely (secure irc) to the Twitch chat server.
Default value: true

CHATTERINO2_PROXY_URL¶

Used to set a proxy for network interactions of Chatterino. Both HTTP and SOCKS5¹ proxies are supported. The URL supports username and password authentication. Example: http://username:[email protected]:1080 or socks5://127.0.0.1 (defaults to port 1080).

QT_LOGGING_RULES¶

Used to enable/disable logging at run time. For example: QT_LOGGING_RULES="chatterino.*.debug=true" to enable debug logging in release builds. (It's on by default in debug builds). See Qt docs for more details.

QT_MESSAGE_PATTERN¶

Used to customize logging at run time. For example: QT_MESSAGE_PATTERN="%{time hh:mm:ss.zzz} %{category}: %{function} %{message}" enables a timestamp and function name in log messages. See Qt docs for more details.

When using a SOCKS5 proxy, WebSockets (Twitch PubSub, 7TV EventAPI, and BTTV EventSockets) are not proxied. Only IRC and HTTP requests are proxied. ↩
