Resources environment variables

Reference documentation for resource-related environment variables.

Resources environment variables available for use with Self-hosted Retool deployments.

Only configure environment variables when needed. You can configure many environment variables from your organization's Settings rather than directly editing your deployment's configuration file.

You must restart your instance after setting any variables for them to take effect.

ENABLE_CLIENT_SIDE_CUSTOM_AUTH_BROWSER_CALLS​

boolean

Whether to allow custom authentication steps for resources that make REST API calls directly from the browser. If true, these requests include all browser credentials, even cross-origin calls.

Example
ENABLE_CLIENT_SIDE_CUSTOM_AUTH_BROWSER_CALLS=true

ENCRYPTION_KEY​

string

The encryption key used to encrypt data stored in the PostgreSQL database (e.g., database credentials, SSH keys, etc). If you change this key, you will lose access to all resources that were created before the change.

Example
ENCRYPTION_KEY=key

USE_GCM_ENCRYPTION​

boolean

Whether to use AES-192-GCM authenticated encryption method instead of AES-192-CBC. If set to true, you must also set ENCRYPTION_KEY.

Default value is false.

Example
USE_GCM_ENCRYPTION=true
