Env variables not working

[shrey]

Hi. it seems that the Environment variables are not being set.

I've set various variables, none of which seem to be be applied. Example:
export FILE_STORAGE_UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE=125000000
export IFRAMELY_API_KEY="my-api-key"

Ref:

• https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/file-storage-N4M0T6Ypu7#h-environment-variables
• https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/iframely-HwLF1EZ9mo#h-setup

The latest package moved FILE_STORAGE_UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE to the user template so it does not get overwritten by start.sh anymore. IFRAMELY_API_KEY should have worked already.

Hi @nebulon .

What's meant by 'user template' here?
Basically, how do I set the variable now?

And IFRAMELY_API_KEY doesn't seem to work. Tried repeatedly.

@shrey Just edit /app/data/env.sh and put in export FILE_STORAGE_UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE=26214400 and restart the app. Same for IFRAMELY_API_KEY. For iframely, you might have to take it up upstream as to why it doesn't work. Do you see any error in the logs?

That's what my original 'bug' is ->

export FILE_STORAGE_UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE=125000000

export IFRAMELY_API_KEY="my-api-key"

@girish said in Env variables not working:

There's no mention of "iframely" anywhere in the logs.

@shrey Not 100% sure but I found https://github.com/outline/outline/blob/9e9fedaff1e72f93f61ca752b80368dd1f0cdf1a/.env.sample#L146

# Override the maximum size of document imports, could be required if you have
# especially large Word documents with embedded imagery
MAXIMUM_IMPORT_SIZE=5120000

Can you try setting export MAXIMUM_IMPORT_SIZE=125000000 ?

[shrey]

@girish this works...thanks!

Also, for iframely in the same sample file linked above, there are two variables:

# Iframely API config
# IFRAMELY_URL=
# IFRAMELY_API_KEY=

Maybe both are needed.

@girish As per their docs, it's supposed to be optional:
https://docs.getoutline.com/s/hosting/doc/iframely-HwLF1EZ9mo#h-setup

But i did try adding a couple of URLs, as the exact URL is not explicitly mentioned anywhere (unless i couldn't find it yet).

Will check upstream for more info.

The default appears to behttps://iframe.ly . https://github.com/outline/outline/blob/9e9fedaff1e72f93f61ca752b80368dd1f0cdf1a/server/env.ts#L685 . But at the same time, the plugin manifest says both vars are required - https://github.com/outline/outline/blob/9e9fedaff1e72f93f61ca752b80368dd1f0cdf1a/plugins/iframely/plugin.json#L4 . Best to check upstream. Let us know what you find!
