Configuration Using Environment variables
===
You can choose to configure CodiMD with either a
[config file](configuration-config-file.md) or with environment variables.
Environment variables are processed in
[`lib/config/environment.js`](../lib/config/environment.js) - so this is the first
place to look if anything is missing not obvious from this document. The
default values are defined in [`lib/config/default.js`](../lib/config/default.js),
in case you wonder if you even need to override it.
Environment variables take precedence over configurations from the config files.
They generally start with `CMD_` for our own options, but we also list
node-specific options you can configure this way.
## Node.JS
| variable | example value | description |
| -------- | ------------- | ----------- |
| `NODE_ENV` | `production` or `development` | set current environment (will apply corresponding settings in the `config.json`) |
| `DEBUG` | `true` or `false` | set debug mode; show more logs |
## CodiMD basics

| `CMD_DB_URL` | `mysql://localhost:3306/database` | Set the db in URL style. If set, then the relevant `db` config entries will be overridden. |
| `CMD_LOGLEVEL` | `info`, `debug` ... | Defines what kind of logs are provided to stdout. |
| `CMD_FORBIDDEN_NOTE_IDS` | `'robots.txt'` | disallow creation of notes, even if `CMD_ALLOW_FREEURL` is `true` |
