Temporal environment variables for local clusters

Temporal environment variable reference for self-hosted organizations using a local cluster.

Version: Cloud and 3.191 Edge

Self-hosted organizations can configure the following Temporal environment variables if they want to use a local cluster. These environment variables are relevant only if all the following are true for your organization:

• Does not use Kubernetes for self-hosted deployments.
• Did not use Retool's Helm charts when deploying a self-hosted instance.
• Uses Retool's Temporal image.
• Will use a PostgreSQL database as the backing store for Temporal.

Temporal environment variables are only used to configure a local Temporal cluster. These variables are managed by Temporal and function separately from Retool's environment variables.

All properties for this object with supported data types or values. You can write JavaScript almost anywhere in Retool to manipulate or read property values.
