Your issue
database docs aren’t clear
Describe here your issue
the docs say that the var name for a sql db in qovery is QOVERY_DATABASE_MY_DB_CONNECTION_URI.
what is it called in the case of redis, i mean, the var names of the endpoint and password.?
(just didnt get what then endpoint (url) and password is called, as there are a lot of vars in secrets named with redis/database and i cant see its value)
could i get the var names for REDIS endpoint and password, so that i could proceed… there are a lot of vars in secrets named with redis and database and i cant see its value, so its confusing…
thanks!
On your application page in the dashboard, there is a tab for “Environment Variables”, you should have your DB connection keys under “Secret variables”, you can also create aliases for them from a kebab dropdown if you want them a little more generic.
I am glad you got that sorted out, but ideally you shouldn’t hardcode these values, but use the provided environment variables instead. Not sure what stack your project uses but you should be able to access environment variables in your app, as an example in Node it’s done via process.env.NAME_OF_ENV_VARIABLE.
The benefit of environment variables is in fact that they are hidden and dynamic, so you are not committing any credentials or secrets to your repo but also if something changes on the server, you don’t have to change that in your code.
I didn’t mean that btw.
The vars are named as QOVERY_DBType_random hash_type, which caused some confusion as to what values each one contained.
I checked the values of each and figured out waht is what, and it done!
Thanks
