Missing editable .env for superset

[Valexico]

Based on the documentation, the "embedded mode" require to add an environment variable:

https://superset.apache.org/docs/configuration/networking-settings/#enabling-embedding-via-the-sdk

SUPERSET_FEATURE_EMBEDDED_SUPERSET=true

I found other sources online speaking of a config.py parameter, but this approach seems outdated and is not mentioned in the docs:

https://medium.com/@nandwalritik/embed-superset-dashboard-react-843b0a60a31f

FEATURE_FLAGS = {
    # Paste this along with other feature flag options
    "EMBEDDED_SUPERSET": True,
}

Unfortunately, env.sh is located in /app/pkg and is read-only

https://git.cloudron.io/packages/superset-app/-/blob/main/start.sh?ref_type=heads#L17

Could you change the packaging in order to be able to configure the environment variables ?

Could be related to this post

have you seen https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/superset/#custom-config and does that work for this specific config variable?

Hi @nebulon
No it does not.

This allows to make public URLs

AUTH_ROLE_PUBLIC = 'Public'
PUBLIC_ROLE_LIKE = 'Gamma'

FEATURE_FLAGS = {
    'DASHBOARD_RBAC': True
}

But it does not permits to use the embed sdk
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@superset-ui/embedded-sdk

The embed SDK references a EMBEDDED_SUPERSET feature flag but the Superset documentation references a SUPERSET_FEATURE_EMBEDDED_SUPERSET=true environment variable

I guess Superset docs is more accurate because I did try the feature flag and it does not activate the embed feature.

My mistake, it actually seem to enable the feature. Let me check

[Valexico]

So it seem the environment variable is not required.

Great, so it worked out in the end using the config file?
