Validator Node Configuration
The IOTA validator node configuration file is a YAML file (usually named validator.yaml) that you can use to configure your iota-node.
To smooth the setup process you can use a validator node configuration file template and modify it to your needs.
This default template uses default ports, archive and pruning settings and also covers peering configuration for the selected network. If you're fine with the default settings, you can use the template as is and continue with the node setup either using Docker or using systemd.
