CSVWMAPANDTRANSFORM_TOKEN=${CKAN_API_TOKEN}
MAPTOMETHOD_CONTAINER_NAME="ckan_maptomethod"
MAPTOMETHOD_APP_PORT=5002
# must be reachable from outside container net or iframe wil not work 
CKAN_MAPTOMETHOD_URL=http://<CKAN_HOST>:${MAPTOMETHOD_APP_PORT}
RDFCONVERTER_CONTAINER_NAME="ckan_rdfconverter"

You can set the default formats to run trusformation on by setting the env variable CSVWMAPANDTRANSFORM_FORMATS for example

CSVWMAPANDTRANSFORM_FORMATS="json-ld turtle n3 nt hext trig longturtle xml"

else it will react to the following formats: "json json-ld turtle n3 nt hext trig longturtle xml"

CSVWMAPANDTRANSFORM_FORMATS="json json-ld turtle n3 nt hext trig longturtle xml"
