How to modify the .env file when installed via docker run
We are self-hosting and installed appwrite via:
TypeScript
docker run -it --rm \
--volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
--volume "$(pwd)"/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw \
--entrypoint="install" \
appwrite/appwrite:1.3.8
...how do we modify the environment variables? I'm not sure where the .env file was created?
TL;DR
The user wants to know how to modify the environment variables in the .env file when using the 'docker run' command to install Appwrite. They are unsure of the location of the .env file.
Solution: The .env file is usually created in the 'appwrite' folder, alongside the docker-compose.yml file. Therefore, navigate to the folder where you ran the installation command and look for the 'appwrite' folder. The .env file should be inside that folder. Modify the environment variables in that file to make the necessary changes.
