Variables

Variables are passed to your app as environment variables, and to the build as build secrets. Teral stores them encrypted. You manage them on the app's Environment Variables page.

Add variablesCopy Anchor Link

Give each variable a name, a value and an environment. All Environments adds it to both. You can add several at once:

• paste lines in KEY=value form
• drop a .env file on the form

A name can exist once per environment. To change a name everywhere at once, use Rename in all environments.

Names should be valid environment variable names: letters, digits and underscores, not starting with a digit.

Sensitive variablesCopy Anchor Link

Mark a variable as sensitive for API keys, passwords and tokens. After you save it, nobody can see or copy its value again, not even you. You can still replace it with a new value or delete it. You can't make a sensitive variable readable again.

Variables that aren't sensitive can be revealed and copied in the dashboard, which is handy for settings such as URLs or feature flags.

When changes take effectCopy Anchor Link

A deployment keeps the variables it started with. After changing variables, start a new deployment, for example with Redeploy, so your app picks them up.

Variables Teral setsCopy Anchor Link

Every instance also gets these variables:

If you define a variable with one of these names, Teral's value wins.
