ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

Environment Variables

This is the complete runtime environment reference for Pixels. Every setting has a default so local development can start from .env.example. Published development credentials are not safe for production. Operational guidance lives in PRODUCTION-SETUP.

Durations use Go duration syntax such as 250ms, 5m, 24h, and 168h. Empty means the default value is an empty string.

.env.example remains the executable copy and paste template. This page explains every current variable, while the config holders beside each component define parsing and normalization. A change that adds, removes, or renames a variable must update all three in the same commit.
