Configuration

These are all the configuration options you can set via environment variables.

Append any of the following keys to your .env file, and run docker-compose up -d to apply them.

:::info The double-underscores are intentional, as all these settings are translated to yaml internally, a double-underscore indicates the next level. :::

All of these variables can be set to values, but you can also use a URI-like format to load values from other places:

• env://<name> Loads the value from the environment variable <name>. Fallback can be optionally set like env://<name>?<default>
• file://<name> Loads the value from the file <name>. Fallback can be optionally set like file://<name>?<default>
