vtadmin-web
Environment Variables #
These environment variables configure VTAdmin, most commonly when creating a vtadmin-web
production build as described in the VTAdmin Operator's Guide. These environment variables also enumerated in web/vtadmin/vite-env.d.ts.
Under the hood, vtadmin-web
uses vite, which requires all environment variables to be prefixed with VITE
to avoid accidentally including secrets in the static build. For more on custom environment variables with vite, see "Env Variables and Modes".
These environment variables can be passed inline to the npm run build
command or added to a .env file.
Name | Required | Type | Default | Definition |
---|---|---|---|---|
VITE_VTADMIN_API_ADDRESS | Required | string | - | The full address of vtadmin-api's HTTP(S) interface. Example: "https://vtadmin.example.com:12345" |
VITE_BUGSNAG_API_KEY | Optional | string | - | An API key for https://bugsnag.com. If defined, the @bugsnag/js client will be initialized. Your Bugsnag API key can be found in your Bugsnag Project Settings. |
VITE_BUILD_BRANCH | Optional | string | - | The branch vtadmin-web was built with. Used only for debugging; will appear on the (secret) /settings route in the UI. |
VITE_BUILD_SHA | Optional | string | - | The SHA vtadmin-web was built with. Used only for debugging; will appear on the (secret) /settings route in the UI. |
VITE_DOCUMENT_TITLE | Optional | string | "VTAdmin" | Used for the document.title property. Overriding this can be useful to differentiate between multiple VTAdmin deployments, e.g., "VTAdmin (staging)". |
VITE_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_TABLET_DEBUG_VARS | Optional | string | - | Optional, but recommended. When "true" , enables front-end components that query vtadmin-api's /api/experimental/tablet/{tablet}/debug/vars endpoint. |
VITE_FETCH_CREDENTIALS | Optional | string | - | Configures the credentials property for fetch requests made against vtadmin-api. If unspecified, uses fetch defaults. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/Using_Fetch#sending_a_request_with_credentials_included |
VITE_READONLY_MODE | Optional | string | "false" | If "true", UI controls that correspond to write actions (PUT, POST, DELETE) will be hidden. Note that this only affects the UI. If write actions are a concern, Vitess operators are encouraged to also configure vtadmin-api for role-based access control (RBAC) if needed. |
These environment variables are automatically filled in by vite and you do not have to provide them. They are available in the import.meta.env
object at run time, and listed here for full coverage of environment variables:
Name | Type | Default | Definition |
---|---|---|---|
MODE | string | "production", "staging", or "development" | The current mode in which vite is running |
