IRIS Configuration

In order to connect to the database and other systems certain configurations are needed. This document lists all available configurations.

How to set configuration variables

There are 3 different options to set configuration variables

1. Azure Key Vault
2. Environment Variables
3. The config.ini file

Azure Key Vault

The first option that is checked is the Azure Key Vault. In order to use this the AZURE_KEY_VAULT_NAME should be specified.

Since Azure Key Vault does not support underscores you should remove this from the configuration name. For example: POSTGRES_USER becomes POSTGRES-USER.

Environment Variables

The second option is using environment variables, which gives the most amount of flexibility.

Config.ini

The last and fallback option is the config.ini. Within the project there is a config.model.ini, which is not used but gives the example how the file should look like. If the application is started with the environment variable DOCKERIZED=1 then the config.docker.ini is loaded, otherwhise the config.priv.ini is loaded.

Environment variable only

A few configs are environment variables only:

• IRIS_WORKER - Specifies if the process is the worker
• DOCKERIZED - Is set when running in docker, also loads the other config.ini

Configuration options

• POSTGRES_USER - The user IRIS uses
