Environment Variables and Secrets¶
Colyseus Cloud allows you to safely store your secrets and environment variables via Application Settings page:
Values are encrypted and only visible to team members of your application.
Do not commit your secrets to your repository!
When you commit a secret key to your repository, it is exposed to anyone with access to your repository. This can lead to your account being compromised, and your keys being used maliciously.
Development and Production environments¶
Colyseus loads your .env files automatically, depending on the NODE_ENV environment variable. The usage of .env files is optional.
.env.development: When testing from your local machine.env.production: When deployed to Colyseus Cloud.env.{REGION}.production: When deployed to Colyseus Cloud, depending on the region where your server has been provisioned. Region-based environment variables have precedence over.env.production.
Region-based Environment Variables¶
Colyseus Cloud provides region-based environment variables, depending on where your application is deployed:
process.env.REGION- the region where your server has been provisioned.process.env.COUNTRY- the country where your server has been provisioned.
