You can set environment variables to configure Evidence in production. Most of these are used to set database credentials securely.

The format of environment variables for database credentials is EVIDENCE_SOURCE__[source_name]__[variable_name].

You can copy all your current environment variable values from the settings page at localhost:3000/settings.

N.B. Environment variables are case sensitive, so you should preserve the case specified in the settings page.

Evidence will read in environment variables from a .env file in the root of your project. This is useful for local development.
