Required environment variables

Note 1: check whether a file named .env is present in the root directory of Astuto. If not, create it. You can copy the template of .env-example.

Note 2: each time you change an environment variable inside .env you need to stop docker containers and run script/docker-run.sh to start them again.

Note 3: you should never use double quotation marks, even for strings with multiple words

You have to define the following environment variables inside the .env file.

Name	Possible values	Description
BASE_URL	string	Base URL of the Astuto instance (e.g: http://feedback.yoursite.com). If you're in development, use: http://localhost:3000
ENVIRONMENT	development, production	The environment in which Astuto has to run. If you don't know what it is, use production. You must run script/docker-update.sh after changing this.
SECRET_KEY_BASE	string of 64 chars	Copy the 64 random hex characters from this website.
POSTGRES_USER	string	Username to access the database. It will also be the name of the database.
POSTGRES_PASSWORD	string	Password to access the database.
EMAIL_CONFIRMATION	true, false	whether your user will have to confirm their email addresses or not. Since email delivery is not yet configured in Astuto, set it to false for the time being.
