Server configuration

Core Corteza services are configured via the environment (.env) file. It allows a quick deploy to another platform, along with fine-tuning the system’s behaviour and enabled features.

The .env file is at the root of the application. In the context of Docker Compose, it is next to the docker-compose.yaml file.

The .env file affects three levels:

Implicit Docker Compose configuration,
variable substitution in Docker configuration,
service configuration.

When you are using Docker Compose, you must explicitly reference the environment file for each service in the docker-compose.yaml file (env_file: [.env]).

You can use variables defined in the .env inside your docker-compose.yaml file; for example ${VERSION}.
