BlockScout Env Variables

Below is a table outlining the environment variables utilized by BlockScout.

Notes:

  • This table is horizontally scrollable, version information is located in the last column.
  • Settings related to the ETHEREUM_JSONRPC_VARIANT variable and client related settings for running a full archive node with geth or parity are located in this forum post.
  • Additional information related to certain variables is available on the ansible deployment page.
  • To set variables using the CLI, use the export command. For example:
$ export ETHEREUM_JSONRPC_VARIANT=parity
$ export COIN=POA
$ export NETWORK=POA
