Environment file

How am I supposed to configure the application's environment variables?

@james I haven't tried to make the modifications suggested since then, but i have good reasons to believe it'd work.

The app package currently has no way to configure anything via env variables. Do you have a link to what you want to customize?

[Lanhild]

@nebulon This

and also this https://help.penpot.app/technical-guide/configuration/#frontend

I've taken a quick look at the app's Cloudron package, and it seems like it simply needs a symbolic link from /run/penpot/env.sh

[nebulon]

We can add an env.sh to be sourced from /app/data/env.sh however the runtime config will have to overwrite most settings in order to ensure it working.

Which variables do you intend to change, so we can first see if it is even viable?

@nebulon mostly, I want to override Cloudron's OIDC for this app.

[nebulon]

Right I think for this we should rather adjust the package to enable the optionalSso flag, otherwise this can have unexpected side-effects, if the app state assumes Cloudron OIDC and thus ensures that on startup, while the user overwrites some related env vars for custom use. This will especially become an issue if env vars change in the future.

@Lanhild was this issue resolved?
