datasette-expose-env

Datasette plugin to expose selected environment variables at /-/env for debugging

Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

datasette install datasette-expose-env

Configuration

Decide on a list of environment variables you would like to expose, then add the following to your metadata.yml configuration:

plugins:
  datasette-expose-env:
    variables:
    - ENV_VAR_1
    - ENV_VAR_2
    - ENV_VAR_3

If you are using JSON in a metadata.json file use the following:

{
  "plugins": {
    "datasette-expose-env": {
      "variables": [
        "ENV_VAR_1",
        "ENV_VAR_2",
        "ENV_VAR_3"
      ]
    }
  }
}

To show a full list of redacted environment variables use "show_all_redacted": true:

plugins:
  datasette-expose-env:
    show_all_redacted: true
    variables:
    - ENV_VAR_1
    - ENV_VAR_2

This will show the values for ENV_VAR_1 and ENV_VAR_2 and then a full list of other variables with their value shown as ....

Visit /-/env on your Datasette instance to see the values of the environment variables.
