Append any of the following keys to your `.env` file, and run `docker-compose up -d` to apply them. :::info The double-underscores are intentional, as all these settings are translated to yaml internally, a double-underscore indicates the next level. ::: All of these variables can be set to values, but you can also use a URI-like format to load values from other places: - `env://` Loads the value from the environment variable ``.
