Application container customization
Warning:
Local installations of Flow Production Tracking are no longer offered. This documentation is intended only for those with existing instances of Shotgun Enterprise Docker. Click here for a list of our current offerings.
Note:
This article is intended for Flow Production Tracking System Administrators. It gives information about additional parameters that can be configured in for the shotgun-app container.
Environment variables
Different environment variables can be configured in the shotgun-app container. You may want to customize these values, based on the characteristics of your setup. Every time a variable is changed, the container needs to be restarted for the change to take effect.
| Environment Variable | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MEMCACHED_HOST | memcached | Container or host name memcached |
| MEMCACHED_PORT | 11211 | OPTIONAL. Port on which memcached is listening to. |
| MEMCACHED_KEY_PREFIX | <empty> | OPTIONAL. The extra prefix that is added before the default Flow Production Tracking memcached prefix. *Works in Shotgun v8.7.0.2979 and above and Flow Production Tracking. |
| PASSENGER_PROCESSES | 12 | OPTIONAL. The number of passenger processes handling requests. The ideal value corresponds to 1.5 times the number of processors on the host. Was MAX_PASSENGER_PROCESSES before 7.7.2.2 |
| PASSENGER_MAX_REQUEST_QUEUE_SIZE | 100 | OPTIONAL. Passenger max queue size. |
| POSTGRES_DB | shotgun | OPTIONAL. Name of the Flow Production Tracking database |
| POSTGRES_HOST | db | OPTIONAL. Container or host name running the PostgreSQL server. |
| POSTGRES_PASSWORD | <empty> | OPTIONAL. Password to connect to the database using the POSTGRES_USER. |
| POSTGRES_PORT | 5432 | OPTIONAL. Port on which PostgreSQL is listening to. |
| POSTGRES_SCHEMA | <empty> | OPTIONAL. Name of the schema. Conventional Flow Production Tracking databases don’t use a schema. |
| POSTGRES_USER | shotgun | OPTIONAL. Name of the superadmin user that will be used for admin operations. |
| SHOTGUN_CUSTOM_CODE | <empty> | OPTIONAL. Name of the folder containing your custom code, minus _custom. Eg. If folder name is clientstudio_custom then the value would simply be clientstudio. Conventional Flow Production Tracking instances don’t use custom code. Was CUSTOM_CODE before 7.3.2.0. |
| SHOTGUN_ROLE | <empty> | OPTIONAL. The role of this Flow Production Tracking end-point. The end-point can be configured to respond only to API requests or only to UI requests. Accepted values are ui_server or api_server. |
| SHOTGUN_SITE_URL | <empty> | REQUIRED. The URL of the Flow Production Tracking end-point. The end-point can be different for application containers that are part of the same cluster. Should always be the URL of a server configured for ui_server role or a server without a defined SHOTGUN_ROLE (which provides ui_server by default) to ensure human users are redirected correctly. |
| SHOTGUN_ALT_URL | <empty> | OPTIONAL. The URL of an alternate Flow Production Tracking end-point. When configuring an application container explicitly for the ui_server role this value should be the URL of a server configured for the api_server role to ensure scripts are redirected correctly. |
| SHOTGUN_USER_ID | 11000 | OPTIONAL. Specifies the UID of the shotgun user inside the container which is used when writing files to the media storage. |
| SHOTGUN_USER_GID | 11000 | OPTIONAL. Specifies the GID of the shotgun user inside the container which is used when writing files to the media storage. *Works in Shotgun v8.2.2.x and above and Flow Production Tracking. |
| SHOTGUN_LOG_LEVEL | INFO | OPTIONAL. Logging level for the shotgun application. Possible values: DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL. |
| IMAGEMAGICK_TIMEOUT | 10s | OPTIONAL. Duration allowed for small thumbnail generation before process is killed. Should be a floating point number with an optional suffix: 's' for seconds (the default), 'm' for minutes, 'h' for hours or 'd' for days. A duration of 0 removes the associated timeout. |
