Environment Variables

Configure .env, override.conf, and tasks.json files

The following examples show how to configure Robility flow using environment variables in different scenarios.

.env file

The .env file is a text file that contains key-value pairs of environment variables.

Create or edit a .env file in the root directory of your application or Robility flow environment, and then add your configuration variables to the file:

DO_NOT_TRACK=True

ROBILITY FLOW_AUTO_LOGIN=False

ROBILITY FLOW_AUTO_SAVING=True

ROBILITY FLOW_AUTO_SAVING_INTERVAL=1000

ROBILITY FLOW_BACKEND_ONLY=False

ROBILITY FLOW_BUNDLE_URLS=[“https://github.com/user/repo/commit/hash”]

ROBILITY FLOW_CACHE_TYPE=async

ROBILITY FLOW_COMPONENTS_PATH=/path/to/components/

ROBILITY FLOW_CONFIG_DIR=/path/to/config/

ROBILITY FLOW_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/robility flow

ROBILITY FLOW_DEV=False

ROBILITY FLOW_FALLBACK_TO_ENV_VAR=False

ROBILITY FLOW_HEALTH_CHECK_MAX_RETRIES=5

ROBILITY FLOW_HOST=localhost

ROBILITY FLOW_MAX_FILE_SIZE_UPLOAD=10000

ROBILITY FLOW_MAX_ITEMS_LENGTH=100

ROBILITY FLOW_MAX_TEXT_LENGTH=1000

ROBILITY FLOW_LOG_LEVEL=error

ROBILITY FLOW_OPEN_BROWSER=False

ROBILITY FLOW_PORT=7860

ROBILITY FLOW_REMOVE_API_KEYS=False

ROBILITY FLOW_SAVE_DB_IN_CONFIG_DIR=True

ROBILITY FLOW_SECRET_KEY=somesecretkey

ROBILITY FLOW_STORE=True

ROBILITY FLOW_STORE_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES=True

ROBILITY FLOW_SUPERUSER=adminuser

ROBILITY FLOW_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD=adminpass

ROBILITY FLOW_WORKER_TIMEOUT=60000

ROBILITY FLOW_WORKERS=3

Systemd service

A systemd service configuration file configures Linux system services.

To add environment variables, create or edit a service configuration file and add an override.conf file. This file allows you to override the default environment variables for the service.

[Service]

Environment=”ROBILITY FLOW_AUTO_LOGIN=false”

Environment=”ROBILITY FLOW_AUTO_SAVING=true”

Environment=”ROBILITY FLOW_AUTO_SAVING_INTERVAL=1000″

Environment=”ROBILITY FLOW_PORT=7860″

Environment=”ROBILITY FLOW_REMOVE_API_KEYS=false”

Environment=”ROBILITY FLOW_SAVE_DB_IN_CONFIG_DIR=true”

Environment=”ROBILITY FLOW_SECRET_KEY=somesecretkey”

Environment=”ROBILITY FLOW_STORE=true”

Environment=”ROBILITY FLOW_STORE_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES=true”

Environment=”ROBILITY FLOW_SUPERUSER=adminuser”

Environment=”ROBILITY FLOW_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD=adminpass”

Environment=”ROBILITY FLOW_WORKER_TIMEOUT=60000″

Environment=”ROBILITY FLOW_WORKERS=3″

VSCode tasks.json

The tasks.json file located in .vscode/tasks.json is a configuration file for development environments using Visual Studio Code.

Create or edit the .vscode/tasks.json file in your project root:

{

    “version”: “2.0.0”,

    “options”: {

        “env”: {

            “DO_NOT_TRACK”: “true”,

            “ROBILITY FLOW_REMOVE_API_KEYS”: “true”,

            “ROBILITY FLOW_SAVE_DB_IN_CONFIG_DIR”: “false”,

            “ROBILITY FLOW_SECRET_KEY”: “somesecretkey”,

            “ROBILITY FLOW_STORE”: “true”,

            “ROBILITY FLOW_STORE_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES”: “true”,

            “ROBILITY FLOW_SUPERUSER”: “adminuser”,

            “ROBILITY FLOW_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD”: “adminpass”,

            “command”: “. ./Robility flownightly/Scripts/activate && Robility flow run”,

            “isBackground”: true,

            “problemMatcher”: []

        }

    ]

}

To run Robility flow using the above VSCode tasks.json file, in the VSCode command palette, select Tasks: Run Task > Robility flow backend.
