Configuration

Environment Variables

Environment variables are the means of configuring application services, particularly with our standard Docker environment.

For our standard Docker setup variables should be defined in .env, an example can be found in .env.example (when updating please refer to this file). After updating values in .env, containers should be restarted or rebuilt.
If you are using a different setup, you will need to define the relevant environment variables yourself.

In the table below, the [SERVICE]_HOST properties refer to the IP address that the Docker container listens on. Setting this to 127.0.0.1 for will only expose the configured port to localhost, whereas setting this to 0.0.0.0 will expose the port on all interfaces.
The [SERVICE]_PORT properties refer to the external Docker container port, used to access services from outside the container. Changing this does not require any changes to configuration within container. For example, setting the MONGO_PORT to 21018 will allow you to access the mongo database through that port on your machine, even though the application within the container is listening on 21017.

Property Description

FRONTEND_DEV_PORT Should be the port where Vite's dev server will be accessible from, should always be port 81 for Docker since nginx listens on port 80, and is recommended to be port 80 for non-Docker. Only used when running in development mode.

[^1]: If value is changed the frontend will require a rebuild in production mode.

Backend Config

The backend config serves as the primary configuration means of the application. The default values can be found in backend/config/default.json.

To overwrite these, create a local config e.g. backend/config/local.json and define key/values. A basic template can be found in backend/config/template.json.

If the default configuration changes, so will the configVersion. When updating, please refer to the default.json, make any required changes to your local.json, and update your configVersion.

Some configuration values are overwritten by Environment Variables and can not be overwritten with local.json. These values can be found in backend/config/custom-environment-variables.json.

For more information on configuration files please refer to the config package documentation.

Docker-compose override

You may want to override the docker-compose files in some specific cases.
For this, you can create a docker-compose.override.yml file.

For example, to expose the backend port:

services:
  backend:
    ports:
      - "${BACKEND_HOST}:${BACKEND_PORT}:8080"

This assumes that you have also set BACKEND_PORT inside your .env file.
