Configuration

The following environment variables are used to configure the application. They are set via a Kubernetes ConfigMap with values coming from the Helm values.yaml. See Deployment to Kubernetes

Generally, if an variable default can be set in the application it will be. There are then also some defaults in the Helm values. For more dynamic values that depend on the release name or namespace, the environment variables have a sensible default in the ConfigMap but also can be overwritten via the values.yaml.

The ODA connection is configured these environment variables and corresponding Helm values, or a Kubernetes Secret - see Secret Management.
