Mage environment variables

Environment variables in Mage

Environment variables may be set in your Docker container to configure Mage settings. If you’re running Mage using pip or conda , your local machine’s environment variables are accessible within the running Mage app.

Environment variables are different from runtime variables or secrets .

If you’re running Mage using Docker, you must add the following command line flags:

-e SOME_VARIABLE_NAME_1=secret_value_1 -e SOME_VARIABLE_NAME_2=secret_value_2
The command to run Mage using Docker could look like this:
docker run -it -p 6789:6789 -v $(pwd):/home/src \
    -e SOME_VARIABLE_NAME_1=secret_value_1 -e SOME_VARIABLE_NAME_2=secret_value_2 \
    mageai/mageai /app/run_app.sh mage start [project_name]

Setting the prefix for Mage URL
You may need to add a prefix to the Mage url. You can configure the Mage server to start
at a prefix to the url by setting the MAGE_BASE_PATH environment variable.
Make sure to set the base path without the leading slash. For example, if you want to start Mage at
http://localhost:6789/base/url/path, you would configure your environment
variable like this:
export MAGE_BASE_PATH=base/url/path
