Configuration

First thing first, refer to the .env.example file as the guide. Simply copy data from it to a new .env file.

The instructions below may be outdated, so please double-check them! We will fully update this README.md with the Relivator 1.3.0 release.

🎉 Everything is optional in .env file starting from Relivator 1.2.6! You can deploy Relivator without a .env file! But ensure you verify what’s necessary. Though the application will run without certain variables, missing ones may deactivate specific features.

Ensure that default values are defined for essential environment variables. Never store secrets in the .env.example file. For newcomers or repo cloners, use .env.example as a template to create the .env file, ensuring it’s never committed. Update the schema in /src/env.js when adding new variables.

Further information about environment variables is available here.

A cleaner and improved version of this section is coming soon. Stay tuned!

In the 1.1.0 Relivator release, the .env.example file was greatly simplified and will be streamlined even further in upcoming versions. We aim to ensure that unspecified values will simply deactivate related functionality without halting app compilation.
