Tungsten Dashboard uses environment variables for some of its configuration. Environment variables are used for the Docker Compose method of installation and development mode.
Environment variables are stored in the .env file.
Along with the values below, all variables available within the values.yaml
can be included by converting them to UPPERCASE and prefixing them with DASHBOARD_ - for example
to set the keystore properties in values.yaml you would define
keystorePath where the equivalent environment variable would then be
DASHBOARD_KEYSTORE_PATH. See Section A.3, “The values.yaml file” for a full list.
Table A.1. Environment Variables
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
DASHBOARD_ENV | Environment definition (e.g. for different config files selection) |
DASHBOARD_SECRET | 32 bytes long string that will be used to encrypt cluster credentials |
An example can be seen below:
DASHBOARD_ENV=production DASHBOARD_BASE_URL=example.com DASHBOARD_PORT=4090 DASHBOARD_PATH= DASHBOARD_SSL=false DASHBOARD_SECRET=e5I0vP+MFThNPBLbCcwf4xXrAWdf3mzK DASHBOARD_DEFAULT_USER=admin DASHBOARD_DEFAULT_USER_PASSWORD=admin
It is critical that the DASHBOARD_SECRET key is stored safely as it will
be required for future upgrades since it serves as the encryption key. If it is lost, then there is the possibility
of losing data after upgrades.
