Configure memory boxes manual configuration manual zettelstore zmk 00001004011200 00001004011200 1 (c) 2020-present by Detlef Stern 20220307112918 en EUPL-1.2-or-later 20250627155851 20250627155851 public Under most circumstances, it is preferable to further configure a memory box. This is done by appending query parameters after the base box URI mem:. The following parameters are supported: Parameter Description Default value Maximum value max-bytes Maximum number of bytes the box will store 65535 1073741824 (1 GiB) max-zettel Maximum number of zettel 127 65535 The default values are somewhat arbitrary but applicable to many use cases. While the number of zettel should be easily calculable by a user, the number of bytes might be a bit more difficult to determine. Metadata consumes 6 bytes for the zettel identifier, plus one byte for the separator for each metadata value, in addition to the length of the key and data. The size of the content is its size in bytes. For text content, this corresponds to the number of bytes in its UTF-8 encoding. If one of the limits is exceeded, Zettelstore will return an error indicated by the HTTP status code 507.
