Environment Variables

This project uses environment variables to configure certain aspects of the application.

GITHUB_TOKEN

• Used to authenticate with the GitHub API when making requests.
• For local development, you should set this variable to a valid personal access token that has the necessary permissions to access the relevant repositories. Generate a new personal access token and replace the value for GITHUB_TOKEN in your .env file in order to connect to certain parts of the GitHub API.
• In deployed environments, this should be set to a valid access token associated with the GitHub organization. Edit kube/boost/values.yaml (or the environment-specific yaml file) to change this value.

ENVIRONMENT_NAME

• Used to indicate the name of the environment where the application is running.
• For local development, set this to whatever you want.
• In deployed environments, change the value by editing kube/boost/values.yaml (or the environment-specific yaml file).

STATIC_CONTENT_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID

• Used to authenticate with the Amazon Web Services (AWS) API when accessing static content from a specified bucket.
• For local development, obtain valid value from the Boost team.
• In deployed environments, the valid value is set as a kube secret and is defined in kube/boost/values.yaml (or the environment-specific yaml file).

STATIC_CONTENT_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

• Used to authenticate with the Amazon Web Services (AWS) API when accessing static content from a specified bucket.
• For local development, obtain valid value from the Boost team.
• In deployed environments, the valid value is set as a kube secret and is defined in kube/boost/values.yaml (or the environment-specific yaml file).

STATIC_CONTENT_BUCKET_NAME

• Specifies the name of the Amazon S3 bucket where static content is stored
• For local development, obtain valid value from the Boost team.
• In deployed environments, the valid value is set in kube/boost/values.yaml (or the environment-specific yaml file).
