Can environment variables be scoped per project?

Questions and Answers Web UI

I am trying to scope an environment variable to be re-usable across a project and it does not work.

the best i could do was to scope it on an environment basis.

Are you trying to scope them via the Web UI, Terraform or API?

Did you set up an environment variable with a project scope like in the video below?

Otherwise, can you explain to me what are the steps you are going through?

it is wierd - it has just started working on the UI

can we do this with Terraform (creating projects with default secret variables scoped to that project) ?

also am I right to assume each environment in Qovery corresponds to a namespace in Kubernetes ?

if that is the case then what does a project map to (corresspond to) in Kubernetes ?

Absolutely, look at this example:

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/Qovery/qovery/latest/docs/resources/project#example-usage

Indeed, every Environment is a Kubernetes namespace.

Project is a virtual entity only available at the Qovery level. There is no Kubernetes-related resource. However, if you look at the Kubernetes namespace ID you will see that it’s splitter in 2 parts with a -. The first part corresponds to the project ID.

If you are curious about how this part work, you can inspect the open-source code.
