Beautiful project! One feature request/ question: Would it be possible to have a config file/gui with the api keys instead of having them in the compose file?
Yes! This is a planned feature once I get the settings page implemented.
You can already do this. You can specify an env file or use the default
.env
file.The compose file would look like this:
And your
.env
file would look like this:This is how I do all of my compose files and then I throw
.env
in.gitignore
and throw it into a local forgejo instance.Yeah, but I’m using a gitops approach with portainer stacks. I’ve not been able to do .env files with that setup thus far.
@synae@lemmy.sdf.org is correct, you can pass the values through that part of the UI. I used to do it that way and had Portainer watching my main branch to auto pull/deploy updates but recently moved away from it because I don't deploy everything to 1 server and linking Portainer instances together was hit or miss for me.
Edit: I just deployed it like this (I hit deploy after taking the screenshot) and confirmed both inside the container that it sees everything as well as checking where Portainer drops the files on disk (it uses
stack.env
)Stack settings
Environment vars in container
Portainer stack on disk
I don't know why I did all that, but do with it what you will lol
.env file is just a convenient way to store variables on the filesystem. Ultimately they become environment variables which are easily specified in any container management tool. Here's the portainer docs I think are relevant: https://docs.portainer.io/user/docker/containers/advanced#env (I am not a portainer user). Presumably these can be translated into gitops following practices you are already familiar with in regards to portainer.
