Configure the app

The table below is an exhaustive list of every configuration value accepted by Cookifed.

You can configure the app either using environment variables, or a YAML config file.

Using environment variables

When using environment variables, capitalize each configuration key and replace the dots with underscores.

For example, database.url becomes DATABASE_URL.

Using a YAML config file

Configure the app with the config/config.yml config file. Keep each configuration key in lower case and replace the dots with sub sections.

For example, database.url becomes:

database:
  url: <URL>
