Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.taskforce.sh/on-premises/docker/environment-variables.md). # Environment variables There are a bunch of environment variables that must be set up in order for the instance to run properly. ```properties LICENSE_KEY HOST REDIS_URL POSTGRES_HOST POSTGRES_USER POSTGRES_PORT POSTGRES_DB POSTGRES_PASSWD AUTH0_CLIENTID AUTH0_DOMAIN AUTH0_AUDIENCE MAILGUN_API_KEY MAILGUN_DOMAIN ``` Let's go through these variables in detail. #### License Key The license key to use with this docker container. The container will exit if it is not able to contact and validate the license. You will find your license key on your Taskforce.sh [account](https://taskforce.sh/account/enterprise). #### Host This variable should point to the actual host running the dashboard, for example: #### Redis The dashboard uses Redis for some internal communication and for the Monitoring and Alerts system. A small instance of about 128Mb RAM will be enough in most cases. #### PostgreSQL There are a few variables used to configure the required postgres database, just fill in the values for your database provider accordingly. You won't need a powerful PostgreSQL instance for the dashboard, any minimal instance will do. #### Auth0 The authentication of the users is performed by Auth0. If you are not using Auth0 you can just create a free account which will most likely be enough for your needs. There are some steps involved in configuring Auth0 properly, please refer to this [guide](/on-premises/aws/configure-your-instance/configure-auth0.md). #### Mailgun Mailgun is used for sending alert messages as well as team invitations. You can get a Mailgun account with generous quotas for free, then just follow these [instructions](/on-premises/aws/configure-your-instance/configure-mailgun.md). {% hint style="info" %} Currently the dashboard will be exposed at port **9876,** and cannot be configured to a different port. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.taskforce.sh/on-premises/docker/environment-variables.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
