If you wish to change the postgres password, make sure POSTGRES_PASSWORD and PGPASSWORD are the same.
If you are using redarc on your personal machine, set docker envars REDARC_API=http://localhost/api and SERVER_NAME=localhost.
REDARC_API is the URL of your API server; it must end with /api
eg: http://redarc.mysite.org/api.
REDARC_FE_API is the URL of the API server you want the frontend to send requests to.
If you are not using a reverse proxy, it should be the same as REDARC_API.
SERVER_NAME is the URL your redarc instance is running on. eg: redarc.mysite.org
Setting an INGEST_PASSWORD and ADMIN_PASSWORD in your API is highly recommended to prevent abuse.
IMAGE_PATH is the path you want image_downloader worker to download images. This is the same path the API backend fetches images from.
INDEX_DELAY is how often you want index_worker to index comments/threads
SUBREDDITS is a list of subreddits you want subreddit_worker to fetch threads from. It is delimited by commas
FETCH_DELAY is how often you subreddit_worker to fetch threads.
NUM_THREADS is the number of threads you want downloaded from hot, rising or new.
