title description
Configuration The available configuration options when setting up Koito.

Koito is configured using environment variables. This is the full list of configuration options supported by Koito.

The suffix _FILE is also supported for every environment variable. This allows the use of Docker secrets, for example: KOITO_DATABASE_URL_FILE=/run/secrets/database-url will load the content of the file at /run/secrets/database-url for the environment variable KOITO_DATABASE_URL.

:::caution If the environment variable is defined without and with the suffix at the same time, the content of the environment variable without the _FILE suffix will have the higher priority. :::
