Environment variables

Set configuration and secrets for a service from its Environment tab.

Saving and applying

Saving stores the variables encrypted. They take effect when you select Recreate service, which rebuilds the app without deleting persistent storage.

  • Keys must be valid shell variable names, for example API_BASE_URL.
  • Variables the catalog app manages itself cannot be overridden.
  • Dollar signs in values are kept literally.

For model provider keys, create a separate key for each service with a spending limit, and rotate it when you remove the service.
