Configuration

Rust-Strom uses a TOML-based configuration file, typically located at /etc/rust-strom/config.toml. This file allows you to specify:

HTTP and HTTPS binding addresses. Backend pools, along with matching criteria and addresses. Load balancing strategies. Middlewares for additional request processing. Please refer to the example config.toml provided with the program for a detailed breakdown of available options.
