Environment variables

• TZ : The timezone assigned to the container (default UTC)
• FF_SYNCSERVER_PUBLIC_URL : Must be edited to point to the public URL of your server (default http://localhost:5000).
• FF_SYNCSERVER_SECRET : This is a secret key used for signing authentication tokens. It should be long and randomly-generated.
• FF_SYNCSERVER_ALLOW_NEW_USERS : Set this to false to disable new-user signups on the server. Only request by existing accounts will be honoured (default true).
• FF_SYNCSERVER_FORCE_WSGI_ENVIRON : Set this to true to work around a mismatch between public_url and the application URL as seen by python, which can happen in certain reverse-proxy hosting setups (default false).
