Many run-time parameters can be set through Environment variables. There are two templates included for setting an environments file (`.env`) - one for production use and one for a development environment:
* [.env.template](https://gitlab.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/researchdata/rdms/-/blob/develop/.env.template?ref_type=heads)
* [.env.template.development](https://gitlab.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/researchdata/rdms/-/blob/develop/.env.template.development?ref_type=heads)
Simply rename the appropriate template to `.env` and change the values inside to your requirements.
The templates have comments in them that should explain their use.
