Configuration Environment Variables

Most of the configuration of CDNS takes place centrally in the admin console (point your browser to http://{server-ip}:3000/). However, there are a few deployment settings that are configured on a server-by-server basis using environment variables.

It is optional whether you set these environment variables. If unset, then the default values will be used.

CDNS_DB_URL	The URL used to connect to the database, including username and password.	http://admin:cdnsadmin@localhost:5984
CDNS_PORT	The port used by cdns-frontend to receive requests from end users. Note that on most Linux platforms if you set this to less than 1024 you will need to start the app as root using sudo (it will setuid back to the original user after binding to the port).	8888

CDNS_LOG_LEVEL	The level of operations log verbosity. Possible values are error, warn, info, debug.	info
