foreman

Is there a comment character for foreman's .env file?

Can you comment out lines in a .env file read by foreman?

Solution

  • FWIW, '#' appears to work as a comment character.

    It at least has the effect of removing unwanted environment declarations. It might be declaring others starting with a #, but... it still works.

    EG

    DATABASE_URL=postgres://mgregory:@localhost/mgregory
#DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:secret@localhost:3306/cm_central

    results in postgres being used by django when started by foreman with this .env file, which is what I wanted.
