Configuration
Environment variables can be used to define a number of configuration settings.
Baby Buddy will check the application directory structure for an .env file or
take these variables from the system environment. System environment variables
take precedence over the contents of an .env file.
ALLOWED_HOSTS
Default: * (any host)
Set this variable to a single host or comma-separated list of hosts without spaces. This should always be set to a specific host or hosts in production deployments.
Do not include schemes ("http" or "https") with this setting.
Example value
baby.example.test,baby.example2.test

ALLOW_UPLOADS
Default: True
Whether to allow uploads (e.g., of Child photos). For some deployments (Heroku) this setting will default to False due to the lack of available persistent storage.
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
Default: None
Required to access your AWS S3 bucket, should be uniquely generated per bucket for security.
See also: AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
Default: None
Required to access your AWS S3 bucket, should be uniquely generated per bucket for security.
See also: AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME
Default: None
If you would like to use AWS S3 for storage on ephemeral storage platforms like Heroku you will need to create a bucket and add its name. See django-storages' Amazon S3 documentation.
CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS
Default: None
If Baby Buddy is behind a proxy, you may need add all possible origins to this setting for form submission to work correctly. Separate multiple origins with commas.
Each entry must contain both the scheme (http, https) and fully-qualified domain name.
Example value
https://baby.example.test,http://baby.example2.test,http://babybudy

DB_ENGINE
Default: django.db.backends.postgresql
The database engine utilized for the deployment.
See also Django's documentation on the ENGINE setting.
DB_HOST
Default: db
The name of the database host for the deployment.
DB_NAME
Default: postgres
The name of the database table utilized for the deployment.
DB_PASSWORD
Default: None
The password for the database user for the deployment. In the default example, this is the root PostgreSQL password.
DB_PORT
Default: 5432
The listening port for the database. The default port is 5432 for PostgreSQL.
DB_USER
Default: postgres
The database username utilized for the deployment.
DEBUG
Default: False
When in debug mode, Baby Buddy will print much more detailed error information for exceptions. This setting should be False in production deployments.
See also Django's documentation on the DEBUG setting.
NAP_START_MAX
Default: 18:00
The maximum nap start time (in the instance's time zone). Expects the 24-hour format %H:%M.
NAP_START_MIN
Default: 06:00
The minimum nap start time (in the instance's time zone). Expects the 24-hour format %H:%M.
SECRET_KEY
Default: None
A random, unique string must be set as the "secret key" before Baby Buddy can be deployed and run.
See also Django's documentation on the SECRET_KEY setting.
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER
Default: None
If Baby Buddy is behind a proxy, you may need to set this to True in order to
trust the X-Forwarded-Proto header that comes from your proxy, and any time
its value is "https". This guarantees the request is secure (i.e., it originally
came in via HTTPS).

for supported locales.
