## Introduction

The following environment variables configure the addresses of the databases, some credentials, some application behaviours and the localization preferences.
If you are in a development environment, your can keep most of the default values, otherwise, in production, values must be configured carefully.

The settings in [.env](../env.example) configure the environment variables when the application run in development mode.
If you run the application in production with docker, the settings are localized in [config/env](../setup/env.example).

## General settings
<a name="POSTGRES_HOST"></a>

    POSTGRES_HOST

DNS name or IP address of the server hosting the PostgreSQL database of the application (see [PostgreSQL](../README.md#postgresql)).
This value is only used when deploying in production, otherwise this is configured in [config/database.yml](../config/database.yml.default).
When using docker-compose, you should provide the name of the service in your [docker-compose.yml](../docker/docker-compose.yml) file (`postgres` by default).
<a name="POSTGRES_PASSWORD"></a><a name="POSTGRES_USERNAME"></a>

    POSTGRES_USERNAME, POSTGRES_PASSWORD

Username and password for the connection to the PostgreSQL database.
This value is only used when deploying in production, otherwise this is configured in [config/database.yml](../config/database.yml.default).
When using docker-compose, the default configuration (with `postgres` user) does not uses any password as it is confined in the docker container.
<a name="REDIS_HOST"></a>

    REDIS_HOST

DNS name or IP address of the server hosting the redis database.
When using docker-compose, you should provide the name of the service in your [docker-compose.yml](../docker/docker-compose.yml) file (`redis` by default).
<a name="ELASTICSEARCH_HOST"></a>

    ELASTICSEARCH_HOST

DNS name or IP address of the server hosting the elasticSearch database.

Used by Rails to verify the integrity of signed cookies.
You can generate such a random key by running `rails secret`.

These two variables are also used for SSO authentication.

Please, ensure you know what you're doing, as this can lead to serious security issues. 
<a name="LOCKED_SETTINGS"></a>

    LOCKED_SETTINGS

<a name="internationalization-settings"></a>

<a name="RAILS_LOCALE"></a>

    RAILS_LOCALE

Configure Ruby on Rails localization settings (currency, dates, number formats ...).

Please, be aware that **the configured locale will imply the CURRENCY symbol used to generate invoices**.

_Eg.: configuring **es-ES** will set the currency symbol to **€** but **es-MX** will set **$** as currency symbol, so setting the `RAILS_LOCALE` to simple **es** (without country indication) will probably not do what you expect._

Available values: `en, en-AU-CA, en-GB, en-IE, en-IN, en-NZ, en-US, en-ZA, fr, fa-CA, fr-CH, fr-CM, fr-FR, es, es-419, es-AR, es-CL, es-CO, es-CR, es-DO, 
  es-EC, es-ES, es-MX, es-MX, es-PA, es-PE, es-US, es-VE, pt, pt-BR, zu`.
Default is **en**.

If your locale is not present in that list or any locale doesn't have your exact expectations, please open a pull request to share your modifications with the community and obtain a rebuilt docker image.

## Other settings

In the previous versions of Fab-manager, much more settings were configurable from environment variables.
Starting with Fab-manager v4.5.0, these settings can be configured from the graphical interface, when logged as an administrator.

Nevertheless, it is possible to keep the configuration in the `env` file, using a combination of [`LOCKED_SETTINGS`](environment.md#LOCKED_SETTINGS), `rails fablab:setup:env_to_db` and the [mapping table of `env_to_db`](../lib/tasks/fablab/setup.rake#L105).
