# Validator Environment Variables
# =============================================================================
# Copy this file to .env.validator and fill in your wallet details
# Usage: docker compose -f docker-compose.validator.yaml --env-file .env.validator up -d
# =============================================================================

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Bittensor Wallet Configuration (Required)
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Your validator wallet name (coldkey directory name)
WALLET_NAME=validator

# Your validator hotkey name (hotkey file name)
WALLET_HOTKEY=default

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Wallet Path Configuration (Optional)
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Path to wallet directory on HOST filesystem (not inside container)
# This tells the validator where to find your wallet files on the host machine
#
# Default: ${HOME}/.bittensor/wallets (standard Bittensor location)
# This works for most users - ${HOME} expands to your home directory
#
# Only change this if your wallets are stored in a non-standard location
# Examples:
#   HOST_WALLET_PATH=${HOME}/.bittensor/wallets  (default)
#   HOST_WALLET_PATH=/custom/path/to/wallets     (custom location)
HOST_WALLET_PATH=${HOME}/.bittensor/wallets
