Configuration

Configuration belongs to the operator of each installation. The names below are public interfaces; their actual values must come from your environment or approved secret store. No deployment values are supplied by this manual.

Storage

Variable	Purpose
DATABASE_FOLDER	Primary writable data root
DATABASE_FOLDERS	Comma-separated data roots; set consistently with the primary root
SOURCE_FOLDER	Repository root used by worker routines
SHAREDDATA_S3_ENABLED	Explicitly enable or disable object-store integration

For the quick start, use the isolated relative example directories shown there. Memory mapping shares pages between processes on the same host. A network mount does not turn its host-local lock into a distributed lock.

Configuration sources

SharedData reads environment variables and may load a dotenv file from the working directory and a persisted user configuration. SHAREDDATA_ENV_FILE selects the persisted environment file. Use a fresh environment and working directory for examples. Do not publish that file or copy an environment dump into an issue.

Some WebUI-managed service settings can override inherited connection settings. Review effective configuration privately before starting a worker or server.

Remote clients and authentication

Variable	Purpose
SHAREDDATA_ENDPOINT	Your server's HTTPS origin
SHAREDDATA_TOKEN	A token with permission for the requested operation
SHAREDDATA_SECRET_KEY / FLASK_SECRET_KEY	Signing configuration for the applicable server/auth mode

A generic endpoint is https://data.example.com. Replace it in your private configuration. Keep secrets out of URLs, shell history, source files and screenshots. Read tokens and command tokens have different permissions; a successful read does not grant permission to dispatch routines.

Optional services

Configure only the integrations your application uses. Their connection values and credentials are installation-specific.

Integration	Configuration names
S3-compatible storage	S3_BUCKET, AWS credential/profile variables, S3 endpoint settings
MongoDB	MONGODB_HOST, MONGODB_USER, MONGODB_PWD, replica-set/auth settings
Redis	REDIS_CLUSTER_NODES
Kafka	KAFKA_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS, KAFKA_PARTITIONS, KAFKA_REPLICATION, KAFKA_RETENTION
Semantic data API	SHAREDDATA_DATA_API_CONFIG

Use service documentation and the matching package version when provisioning these backends. Provider names, accounts, buckets, cluster members and dataset preferences are not universal defaults.

Logging

LOG_API controls API logging and LOG_FILE file logging. Turn both off for an isolated example without configured log destinations. Credential redaction protects recognized credential shapes in owned sinks; inspect reports before sharing.
