Add the token and your variables

Every variable arrives under its own name

The variables you add in your bot's settings reach your bot under exactly the same name, unchanged. If your code reads:

bot.run(os.environ["DISCORD_TOKEN"])

add a variable named DISCORD_TOKEN. If it reads os.getenv("TOKEN"), name it TOKEN. When you create your bot we show you the names we found in your code and in .env.example, so you know what to add.

Sensitive values are stored encrypted

Turn on Sensitive for any secret value, such as a token or a password. A sensitive value is stored encrypted and never shown again after you save it; to change it, type a new one. Even if your bot prints it by mistake, we hide it in the console and show •••• instead.

Paste a .env file

Have a .env file on your computer? Paste the whole file into the variables box and we split it line by line.

After you change a variable

The change reaches your bot with the next deployment. Press Redeploy on your bot's page to apply it right away. Variables don't roll back when you roll back to an older deployment; they stay as they are.

Reserved names

Some names belong to Serverk, so you can't add them as variables:

• Any name that starts with SERVERK_.
• The names that carry your deployment settings: REPO_URL, REPO_REF, REPO_BRANCH, START_COMMAND, INSTALL_COMMAND, ROOT_DIRECTORY, DEPLOYMENT_ID, SNAPSHOT_ID, BOT_PLATFORM and GIT_TOKEN. Change these from your bot's settings instead.
• BOT_WEB, BOT_PORT_1 and BOT_PORT_2, the switches of the web address and the two ports. Turn those on in Manage instead.
• PATH, HOME, TZ, VIRTUAL_ENV and PYTHONUNBUFFERED, which your bot needs to run.

We give your bot these ourselves:

• SERVERK_BOT set to 1, and SERVERK_SERVER_CODE, your bot's code.
• BOT_PLATFORM: discord or telegram.
• PORT, SERVERK_WEB_URL and SERVERK_WEB_HOST while the web address is on, and SERVERK_PORT_1 and SERVERK_PORT_2 while that port is on. The guide "Your bot's web address and ports" explains them.
