Temporal environment variables for local clusters

Temporal environment variable reference for self-hosted organizations using a local cluster.

Version: Cloud and 3.178 Edge

Self-hosted organizations can configure the following Temporal environment variables if they want to use a local cluster. These environment variables are relevant only if all the following are true for your organization:

• Does not use Kubernetes for self-hosted deployments.
• Did not use Retool's Helm charts when deploying a self-hosted instance.
• Uses Retool's Temporal image.
• Will use a PostgreSQL database as the backing store for Temporal.

Temporal environment variables are only used to configure a local Temporal cluster. These variables are managed by Temporal and function separately from Retool's environment variables.
