Frontend

Environment Variables

PUBLIC_API_URL

You (the browser) must reach the backend from this url. Default is http://localhost:8000/api/v1. Example: https://mediamanager.example.com/api/v1.

Build Arguments (web/Dockerfile)

TODO: expand on this section

Unfortunately you need to build the frontend docker container, to configure a url base path for the frontend. This is because SvelteKit needs to know the base path at build time.

BASE_URL

Sets the base url path, it must begin with a slash and not end with one. Example (in build command):

• clone the repo
• cd into the repo's root directory
• docker build --build-arg BASE_URL=/media -f web/Dockerfile .

VERSION

Sets the PUBLIC_VERSION environment variable at runtime in the frontend container. Passed during build. Example (in build command): docker build --build-arg VERSION=1.2.3 -f web/Dockerfile .
