Usage

To configure these variables:

  1. For local development, set them in your docker-compose.dev.yml file
  2. For production, set them in your environment or use a .env file
  3. For cloud deployment, set them in your cloud provider’s environment variables section

Example .env file:

APP_NAME=Browserable
PORT=2003
DEBUG=1
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key

​
Notes

  • Empty string defaults ("") indicate optional variables
  • Some variables are required in production but optional in development
  • Security-related variables should be properly secured in production
  • API keys should never be committed to version control
