Prisme.ai services can be configured through various environment variables. This reference provides a comprehensive list of available configuration options for your deployment.

​
Configuration Methods

​
Docker Setup

In a Docker deployment, configure these variables in the root docker-compose.yml file. See the Docker Compose documentation for more details.

​
Developer Setup

In a development environment, create a services/*/.env file containing key/value pairs: 
WORKSPACES_STORAGE_TYPE=S3_LIKE
WORKSPACES_STORAGE_S3_LIKE_BUCKET_NAME=someBucketName
...
To run a service directly from its Docker image, add an env_file option to its services/*/docker-compose.yml file: 
console:
  entrypoint: npm start --prefix services/console
  restart: on-failure
  image: registry.gitlab.com/prisme.ai/prisme.ai/prisme.ai-console:latest
  ports:
    - "3000:3000"
  env_file: ./.env
Note 1: Default values may differ depending on the selected start mode (Docker or Developer), especially URL-related variables. Note 2: Relative paths start from the executing service directory.

STORAGE_GCS_MAX_RETRIESworkspacesMaximum retries on rate-limited GCS requests5
UPLOADS_STORAGE_GCS_BASE_URLworkspacesBase download URL (if omitted, workspaces API will be used as proxy)
If UPLOADS_STORAGE_GCS_KEYFILEPATH or GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS is provided, only UPLOADS_STORAGE_GCS_BUCKET is required. Notes on uploads bucket: By default, the driver stores all uploads inside the same bucket for both public and private files. This bucket must allow public access and enable object-level ACLs, letting the driver selectively set objects as public or private. If these options are restricted in your environment, you can configure two separate buckets for public/private objects:
  1. Both buckets can maintain default settings (which prohibit public access and disable object-level ACLs)
  2. The public bucket could be served through a CDN allowed to access all objects (or any more restrictive pattern you prefer)
In this setup, UPLOADS_STORAGE_S3_* variables configure the private bucket, while UPLOADS_PUBLIC_STORAGE_S3_* variables configure the “public” bucket (i.e dedicated to public assets, but not necessarily public itself). You can provide separate credentials for the public bucket or simply set these two variables to use the same credentials: 
UPLOADS_PUBLIC_STORAGE_S3_LIKE_BUCKET_NAME="your public uploads bucket name"
UPLOADS_PUBLIC_STORAGE_S3_LIKE_BASE_URL="your OPTIONAL CDN public base URL"
Equivalent variables exist for GCS : 
UPLOADS_PUBLIC_STORAGE_GCS_BUCKET="your public uploads bucket name"
UPLOADS_PUBLIC_STORAGE_GCS_BASE_URL="your OPTIONAL CDN public base URL"
To avoid public buckets / CDN, you can force all file download requests to go through the Prisme.ai API by not providing the UPLOADS_STORAGE_*_BASE_URL environment variable.
