Table of Contents
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 config/application.yml 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.
General settings
POSTGRES_HOST
DNS name or IP address of the server hosting the PostgreSQL database of the application (see PostgreSQL). This value is only used when deploying in production, otherwise this is configured in config/database.yml.
POSTGRES_PASSWORD
Password for the PostgreSQL user, as specified in database.yml.
Please see Setup the FabManager database in PostgreSQL for information on how to create a user and set his password.
This value is only used when deploying in production, otherwise this is configured in config/database.yml.
REDIS_HOST
DNS name or IP address of the server hosting the redis database.
ELASTICSEARCH_HOST
DNS name or IP address of the server hosting the elasticSearch database.
SECRET_KEY_BASE
Used by the authentication system to generate random tokens, eg. for resetting passwords.
Used by Rails to verify the integrity of signed cookies.
You can generate such a random key by running rake secret.
STRIPE_API_KEY & STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
Key and secret used to identify you Stripe account through the API. Retrieve them from https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys.
MANDATORY: Even if you don't want to charge your customers, you must fill this settings. For this purpose, you can use a stripe account in test mode, which will provide you test keys.
STRIPE_CURRENCY
Currency used by stripe to charge the final customer. See https://support.stripe.com/questions/which-currencies-does-stripe-support for a list of available 3-letters ISO code.
BEWARE: stripe currency cannot be changed during the application life. Changing the currency after the application has already run, may result in several bugs and prevent the users to pay through stripe. So set this setting carefully before starting the application for the first time.
INVOICE_PREFIX
When payments are done on the platform, an invoice will be generated as a PDF file. The PDF file name will be of the form "(INVOICE_PREFIX) - (invoice ID) _ (invoice date) .pdf"
FABLAB_WITHOUT_PLANS
If set to 'true', the subscription plans will be fully disabled and invisible in the application. It is not recommended to disable plans if at least one subscription was took on the platform.
FABLAB_WITHOUT_SPACES
If set to 'false', enable the spaces management and reservation in the application. It is not recommended to disable spaces if at least one space reservation was made on the system.
DEFAULT_MAIL_FROM
When sending notification mails, the platform will use this address to identify the sender.

DEFAULT_HOST, DEFAULT_PROTOCOL, SMTP_ADDRESS, SMTP_PORT, SMTP_USER_NAME, SMTP_PASSWORD, SMTP_AUTHENTICATION, SMTP_ENABLE_STARTTLS_AUTO & SMTP_OPENSSL_VERIFY_MODE
When DELIVERY_METHOD is set to smtp, configure the SMTP server parameters. See https://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html#action-mailer-configuration for more details. DEFAULT_HOST is also used to configure Google Analytics.
GA_ID
Identifier of your Google Analytics account.
DISQUS_SHORTNAME

TWITTER_NAME
Identifier of the Twitter account, from witch the last tweet will be fetched and displayed on the home page. This value can be graphically overridden during the application's lifecycle in Admin/Customization/Home page/Twitter Feed. It will also be used for Twitter Card analytics.
TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY, TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET, TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN & TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
Keys and secrets to access the twitter API. Retrieve them from https://apps.twitter.com

LOG_LEVEL
This parameter configures the logs verbosity. Available log levels can be found here.
ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS
Exhaustive list of file's extensions available for public upload as project's CAO attachements.
Each item in the list must be separated from the others by a space char.
You will probably want to check that this list match the ALLOWED_MIME_TYPES values below.
Please consider that allowing file archives (eg. ZIP) or binary executable (eg. EXE) may result in a dangerous security issue and must be avoided in any cases.
ALLOWED_MIME_TYPES
Exhaustive list of file's mime-types available for public upload as project's CAO attachements.
Each item in the list must be separated from the others by a space char.
You will probably want to check that this list match the ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS values above.
Please consider that allowing file archives (eg. application/zip) or binary executable (eg. application/exe) may result in a dangerous security issue and must be avoided in any cases.
MAX_IMAGE_SIZE
Maximum size (in bytes) allowed for image uploaded on the platform. This parameter concerns events, plans, user's avatars, projects and steps of projects. If this parameter is not specified the maximum size allowed will be 2MB.
ADMIN_EMAIL, ADMIN_PASSWORD
Credentials for the first admin user created when seeding the project. (not present in application.yml because they are only used once when running the database seed with the command rake db:seed)
Internationalization settings
APP_LOCALE
Configure application's main localization and translation settings.
See config/locales/app.*.yml for a list of available locales. Default is en.
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.
See config/locales/rails.*.yml for a list of available locales. 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. You can find templates of these files at https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/tree/rails-4-x/rails/locale.
MOMENT_LOCALE
Configure the moment.js library for l10n.
See github.com/moment/momentlocale/*.js for a list of available locales. Default is en (even if it's not listed).
SUMMERNOTE_LOCALE
Configure the javascript summernote editor for l10n.
See github.com/summernote/summernote/lang/summernote-*.js for a list of available locales. Default is en-US (even if it's not listed).
ANGULAR_LOCALE
Configure the locale for angular-i18n.
Please, be aware that the configured locale will imply the CURRENCY displayed to front-end users.
Eg.: configuring fr-fr will set the currency symbol to € but fr-ca will set $ as currency symbol, so setting the ANGULAR_LOCALE to simple fr (without country indication) will probably not do what you expect.
See code.angularjs.org/i18n/angular-locale_*.js for a list of available locales. Default is en.
MESSAGEFORMAT_LOCALE
Configure the messageformat.js library, used by angular-translate.
See github.com/messageformat/messageformat/locale/*.js for a list of available locales.
FULLCALENDAR_LOCALE
Configure the fullCalendar JS agenda library.
See github.com/fullcalendar/fullcalendar/lang/*.js for a list of available locales. Default is en-us.
ELASTICSEARCH_LANGUAGE_ANALYZER
This configure the language analyzer for indexing and searching in projects with ElasticSearch. See ElasticSearch guide for a list of available analyzers.
TIME_ZONE
In Rails: set Time.zone default to the specified zone and make Active Record auto-convert to this zone. Run rake time:zones:all for a list of available time zone names.
Default is UTC.
WEEK_STARTING_DAY

D3_DATE_FORMAT
Date format for dates displayed in statistics charts. See D3 Wiki for available formats.
UIB_DATE_FORMAT
Date format for dates displayed and parsed in date pickers. See AngularUI documentation for a list available formats.
BEWARE: years format with less than 4 digits will result in problems because the system won't be able to distinct dates with the same less significant digits, eg. 50 could mean 1950 or 2050.
EXCEL_DATE_FORMAT
Date format for dates shown in exported Excel files (eg. statistics) See Microsoft support for a list a available formats.
Open projects settings
