Hello Forum,
just going to setup Homepage and figured setting Addition Variables via GUI is cumbersome. Ideally i edit these via vscodeserver. Portainer has the capability to built an image with its own configured ENV but i guess its dealing with these by itself not letting anyone else other than portainer know.
So how can i manually configure to use addtion environmentals other than what the GUI offers?
Cheers
You can press the 3 dots and “Convert to custom app” and edit the YAML while having the app still show up in the GUI, but then the app won’t update the versions, you’ll have to do it yourself
ok. so the trade-off is. i’ve to update the app manually and can’t use built in service. will the .env be visible/accessible on the filesystem for archive purposes?
ok found it here: /mnt/.ix-apps/app_configs/homepage/versions/1.0.0/user_config.yaml
The GUI doesn’t use .env, it uses just the docker-compose.yaml type layout. Also, none of the files are “visible” to the GUI but they’re inside the /mnt/.ix-apps folder.
Lol you found while I typed, but yep, all there
