Application Configuration Options

At present, there are a few ways you can customize the application.

Frontend

The front end of the application can be customized using environment variables. Here is a table with a brief explanation of what the environment variables do.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE	What does it do?	Optional?	Example Value
NEXT_PUBLIC_BES_BACKEND_URL	This configures the http/https graphql API endpoint that the frontend will use to fetch data from	No	http://localhost:8081
NEXT_PUBLIC_BES_GRPC_BACKEND_URL	This configures the GRPC(s) endpoint that the frontend will use	No	grpc://localhost:8082
NEXT_PUBLIC_BROWSER_URL	A link to your buildbarn-browser component URL	Yes	https://build.exampleco.io
NEXT_PUBLIC_COMPANY_NAME	The name displayed in the toolbar and on the main landing page for you company	Yes	"Example Co"
NEXT_PUBLIC_COMPANY_SLACK_CHANNEL_NAME	The name for the slack channel link to your internal slack channel	Yes	ExampleCoBuildTeamChannel
NEXT_PUBLIC_COMPANY_SLACK_CHANNEL_URL	The URL to your slack channel	Yes	https://exampleco.enterprise.slack.com/archives/CXXXXXXX
NEXT_PUBLIC_GITHUB_URL	The URL to your Github instance	Yes	https://github.com

The easiest way to inject these into your frontend container is via a .env file, but you can always use other mechanisms to manage these.
