remotes.json¶
The remotes.json file is located in the Conan user home directory, e.g., [CONAN_HOME]/remotes.json.
The default file created by Conan looks like this:
{
"remotes": [
{
"name": "conancenter",
"url": "https://center.conan.io",
"verify_ssl": true
}
]
}
Essentially, it tells Conan where to list/upload/download the recipes/binaries from the remotes specified by their URLs.
The fields for each remote are:
name
(Required,string
value): Name of the remote. This name will be used in commands like conan list, e.g., conan list zlib/1.2.11 --remote my_remote_name.url
(Required,string
value): indicates the URL to be used by Conan to search for the recipes/binaries.verify_ssl
(Required,bool
value): Verify SSL certificate of the specified url.disabled
(Optional,bool
value,false
by default): If the remote is enabled or not to be used by commands like search, list, download and upload. Notice that a disabled remote can be used to authenticate against it even if it’s disabled.
