Pod Environment Variables

Manage runtime environment variables for your pods

Use Pod Environment Variables (Vars tab) to provide runtime config to your app containers.

Where to Edit

In the TUI:

  1. Open a pod
  2. Switch to the Vars tab (4 or [ / ])
  3. Press e to edit
  4. Enter variables in KEY=value format (one per line)
  5. Press Ctrl+S to save

Format Rules

  • One variable per line
  • Format must be KEY=value
  • Empty lines are ignored
  • Duplicate keys are resolved by last entry

When Changes Apply

Saved vars are stored for the pod and applied to the container on deploy/redeploy/restart.

Recommended flow after changes:

  1. Save vars in Vars tab
  2. Trigger Restart (R) or Deploy (D)

Security Notes

  • Pod vars are stored encrypted server-side
  • They are used for container runtime environment injection
  • Keep secrets out of repository files and Dockerfiles when possible

Common Mistakes

  • Missing = in a line
  • Trailing spaces in keys
  • Editing vars but forgetting to restart/redeploy
  • Setting app vars in server config instead of pod vars
