Configuration and profiles

Every setting resolves in this order: the flag, then the environment, then the selected profile in the config file.

Setting	Flag	Environment	Profile key	Default
API key	`--api-key`	`ANONA_COMPUTE_API_KEY`, `E2B_API_KEY` (and `ANONA_API_KEY` when it holds an `e2b_` key)	`api_key`	browser sign-in
Domain		`ANONA_COMPUTE_DOMAIN`, `E2B_DOMAIN`	`domain`	`compute.anonalabs.com`
API URL	`--api-url`	`ANONA_COMPUTE_API_URL`, `E2B_API_URL`	`api_url`	`https://api.<domain>`
Dashboard URL	`--web-url` (login)	`ANONA_COMPUTE_WEB_URL`	`web_url`	`https://app.<domain>`
Default template	`-t`		`default_template`	`base`
Profile	`--profile`	`ANONA_COMPUTE_PROFILE`		`default`

What	Where
Settings	`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/anona-compute/config.toml` (usually `~/.config/anona-compute/config.toml`; `ANONA_COMPUTE_CONFIG` overrides), mode 0600
Browser sign-in secret	The OS keychain (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Secret Service on Linux), else `credentials.json` (mode 0600) next to `config.toml`. `ANONA_COMPUTE_CREDENTIAL_STORE=file` or `keyring` forces one
SSH keys for `anona-compute ssh`	`$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/anona-compute/ssh/<sandbox id>`, ephemeral

The browser sign-in keeps a dashboard session for the machine (shown on the dashboard’s CLI & agent sessions page as CLI on <hostname>) and trades it for an API token that lasts 15 minutes. Signing out, revoking the session on that page, removal from the organization and role changes reach the API within seconds, also for tokens already issued; after a role change the CLI (and a running MCP server) fetches a new token on its own. The CLI never reads Anona Memory’s settings or keys, and never sends an Anona Memory key to the compute API.
