ENV variable - docker

[githubdebugger]

I tried to pass -e Env variable to the container on the latest version 0.2.0 like this:

docker run -d --name openreader-webui -e NEXT_PUBLIC_OPENAI_API_BASE="http://192.168.1.1:8880/v1" -e NEXT_PUBLIC_OPENAI_API_KEY="not_needed" -p 3003:3003 -v openreader_docstore:/app/docstore --restart unless-stopped richardr1126/openreader-webui:latest

But, it does not seem to be working, I tried opening the openreader-webui server in an incognito window, it still defaults to openai base URL.

The docker env seems to be correct though.

$ docker exec openreader-webui env
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
HOSTNAME=18aa343e3343
NEXT_PUBLIC_OPENAI_API_BASE=http://192.168.1.1:8880/v1
NEXT_PUBLIC_OPENAI_API_KEY=not_needed
NODE_VERSION=23.8.0
YARN_VERSION=1.22.22
HOME=/root

@githubdebugger Thank you for bringing this to my attention. This will be fixed in the next release.

I had just changed the project to use the next server for requesting TTS. Previously passing in the env variables wasn't possible because the NEXT_PUBLIC_ variables are compiled at build time, so not possible with Docker, unless you rebuild the image every time you update/run it.

Now that I am using the server, I can use regular env variables that are runtime variables, and will work with setting in the docker run command. Look at the README.md for updated instructions.
