title: “Environment Variables” sidebar_position: 6 description: How to set up environment variables for DevLake

This document explains how to set environment variables for Apache DevLake and what environment variables can be set.

Environment Variables

ENABLE_SUBTASKS_BY_DEFAULT

This environment variable is used to enable or disable the execution of subtasks.

How to set

The format is as follows: plugin_name1:subtask_name1:enabled_value,plugin_name2:subtask_name2:enabled_value,plugin_name3:subtask_name3:enabled_value

Guidance on locating the plugin_name and subtask_name:

  • plugin_name: Represents the plugin's name, such as ‘jira’ for the Jira plugin.
  • subtask_name: Denotes the subtask's name, like ‘collectIssueChangelogs’ for the Jira plugin."

Example 1: Enable some subtasks that are closed by default

ENABLE_SUBTASKS_BY_DEFAULT="jira:collectIssueChangelogs:true,jira:extractIssueChangelogs:true,jira:convertIssueChangelogs:true,tapd:collectBugChangelogs:true,tapd:extractBugChangelogs:true,tapd:convertBugChangelogs:true,zentao:collectBugRepoCommits:true,zentao:extractBugRepoCommits:true,zentao:convertBugRepoCommits:true,zentao:collectStoryRepoCommits:true,zentao:extractStoryRepoCommits:true,zentao:convertStoryRepoCommits:true,zentao:collectTaskRepoCommits:true,zentao:extractTaskRepoCommits:true,zentao:convertTaskRepoCommits:true"

Example 2: Close some subtasks that are executed by default

ENABLE_SUBTASKS_BY_DEFAULT="github_graphql:Collect Job Runs:false,github_graphql:Extract Job Runs:false,github_graphql:Convert Job Runs:false"

How to take effect

After setting the environment variable, restart the DevLake service to take effect.

  • For Docker Compose, run docker-compose down and docker-compose up -d.
  • For Helm, run helm upgrade devlake devlake/devlake --recreate-pods.
