Configuration and ports

Defaults are NERVE_HOME=~/.nerve, host 127.0.0.1, HTTP port 3747, remote access off, and mobile HTTPS port 3748 when enabled.

Desktop flags

Section titled “Desktop flags”
--local
--connect <http(s) URL>
--token <token>
--host <host>
--port <1-65535>
--https-port <1-65535>
--allow-remote
--mobile-https

Remote URL and token select monitor-only mode. Local bind flags configure an owned daemon.

Environment

Section titled “Environment”

Common overrides include:

  • NERVE_HOME
  • NERVE_HOST, NERVE_PORT, NERVE_HTTPS_PORT
  • NERVE_ALLOW_REMOTE=1, NERVE_MOBILE_HTTPS=1
  • NERVE_DAEMON_TOKEN for remote connection
  • NERVE_WEB_DIST
  • NERVE_DAEMON_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_MS (60 seconds default)
  • NERVE_DAEMON_MAX_OLD_SPACE_MB (4096 default)
  • NERVE_ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM
  • NERVE_DEBUG_PROXY=1

See the complete CLI/environment reference.

Precedence and source launch

Section titled “Precedence and source launch”

The daemon resolves host configuration from command-line flags, then environment, then saved settings, then defaults. The source Electron launcher sets HTTP/HTTPS defaults through environment when absent, so those values can outrank saved port settings.

Use explicit environment overrides for isolated development. Keep Electron’s active profile outside NERVE_HOME so complete Nerve-home backup/migration remains safe.
