Key: envList

• Type: list
• Default: []

envList key is mainly designed to be used in the SCALE GUI. So users can pass additional environment variables.

Examples:

    value: password
  # List entry (tpl)
  - name: "{{ .Values.envName }}"
    value: "{{ .Values.password }}"

Key: envFrom

• Default: []
• Helm Template:
  • name: ✅
  • value: ✅

envFrom key is used to load multiple environment variables from a configMap or a secret. With a single list entry, it will load all keys as environment variables defined in the specified object.

Examples:

envFrom:
  # List entry
  - secretRef:
      name: secretName
  - configMapRef:
      name: configMapName
  # List entry (tpl)
  - secretRef:
      name: "{{ .Values.secretName }}"
  - configMapRef:
      name: "{{ .Values.configMapName }}"

Key: TZ

• Type: string
• Default: UTC
• Helm Template: ❌

TZ key is usually defined from the SCALE's GUI dropdown. It is also injected as environment variable into the container. It can also be used to pass timezone to other environment variables an app would use.

Example:

TZ: UTC

env:
  PHP_TZ: "{{ .Values.TZ }}"
