Workspace Configuration

This page describes how to configure a Cloudomation workspace.

Cloudomation workspaces can be configured directly in the workspace or through environment variables contained in a configuration file on the server. Not all configuration options are available in both places, particularly fundamental configurations like database access can only be set via environment variables. All configuration options have a built-in default value.

The order of application of workspace configuration values is:

1. Manually set values in the workpsace configuration directly in the workspace. If none is set:
2. Manually set values in the environment variables configuration file (on the server). If none is set:
3. Default values

Workspace Configuration in the Workspace

note

There is currently no UI screen available to edit environment variables. This feature ist under development and will be released soon. Currently, environment variables in the workspace can only be edited via the REST API. Reach out to support@cloudomation.com if you need help adjusting your workspace configuration.

Refer to the REST API documentation under the header "System" for information on how to access and update the workspace configuration via the REST API. Refer to Workspace Configuration Options for a list and description of all available options.

To be able to change workspace_configuration via the REST API the calling identity must have UPDATE permissions on the workspace record type.

Environment Variables

note

For on-premise installations these options can be set by users managing the Cloudomation installation as environment variables on the docker containers. For cloud installations the options are managed by us. Please get in touch with support@cloudomation.com to request a change.

Below table shows all recognized options and their description for configuration options which can only be set in the environment variables. Please note that all options listed in Workspace Configuration Options can also be set via environment variables.

Note the order of application of environment variables: if an option is set both in environment variables, as well as in the workspace directly, the option configured in the workspace directly will take precedence over the option set in the environment variables.

Some of the settings are applicable for the workspace container, others for the auth container, some for both. For on-premise installations the values can be set in workspace.env and auth.env respectively.
