Manage application environment variables

Application environment variables are key parameters used to configure the runtime behavior and settings of an application container. They determine how the application runs, which services it connects to, and what user credentials it uses.

To view or modify an application's environment variables:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Application,
  2. Select the target application.
  3. Enter the Manage environment variables page.
