A StreamPipes installation can be configured in many ways by providing environment variables. The following lists describe available environment variables along with a description.
| Env Variable Name | Default Value | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| SP_DEBUG | false | Should only be set for local development to reroute traffic to localhost |

| SP_JWT_PRIVATE_KEY_LOC | Empty | Required id SP_JWT_SIGNING_MODE=RSA, path to the private key, can be generated in the UI (Settings->Security->Generate Key Pair) | 
| SP_ENCRYPTION_PASSCODE | eGgemyGBoILAu3xckolp for Docker, Auto-generated for K8s | Encryption passcode for SecretStaticProperties | 
| SP_PRIORITIZED_PROTOCOL | kafka | Messaging layer for data exchange between extensions |

|---|---|---|
| SP_COUCHDB_HOST | couchdb | The hostname or IP of the CouchDB database | 
| SP_COUCHDB_PROTOCOL | http | The protocol (http or https) of the CouchDB database | 
| SP_COUCHDB_PORT | 5984 | The port of the CouchDB database |

| SP_COUCHDB_PASSWORD | admin | The password of the CouchDB user | 
| SP_TS_STORAGE_HOST | influxdb | The hostname of the timeseries storage (currently InfluxDB) |

| SP_TS_STORAGE_BUCKET | sp | The InfluxDB storage bucket name | 
| SP_TS_STORAGE_ORG | sp | The InfluxDB storage org | 
| SP_TS_STORAGE_TOKEN | sp-admin | The InfluxDB storage token | 
The InfluxDB itself can be configured by providing the variables DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_PASSWORD and DOCKER_INFLUXDB_INIT_ADMIN_TOKEN. See the docker-compose file for details.
