Configuring Capsul-Flask

Create a .env file to set up the application configuration:

nano .env

You can enter any environment variables referenced in __init__.py to this file.

For example you may enter your SMTP credentials like this:

MAIL_USERNAME=forest@nullhex.com
MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER=forest@nullhex.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=**************

Loading variables from files

To support Docker Secrets, you can also load secret values from files – for example, to load MAIL_PASSWORD from /run/secrets/mail_password, set

MAIL_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/mail_password
