Obyx

A definitive list.

No environment variables are mandatory. Some are required if you will be using certain features, and some are not required at all depending on your system architecture. The following is a list of available configuration parameters for the latest release of obyx.

Environment variables are said to be set if the EXIST. Simply having an empty envar will not make obyx use the default. This is particularly important when you come to Boolean values such as 'OBYX_DEVELOPMENT' and setting this to 'false' will not disable it as the setting is based upon existence not value.
