Browse source 
The most common is "How do I set my custom domain" (answer: APP_DOMAIN)
but this also requires setting LUCKY_ENV=production which requires
SECRET_KEY_BASE, DATABASE_URL, and PORT

$ docker run -it --rm -v `pwd`/config/watch.yml:/app/config/watch.yml -p 8080:8080 scribe:latest $ docker run -it --rm -v `pwd`/config/watch.yml:/app/config/watch.yml -p 8080:8080 scribe:latest
``` ```
### Configuration
To allow your domain to show up on the homepage, the `APP_DOMAIN` environment variable must be set. Note that this only takes effect if the `LUCKY_ENV` environment variable is also set to `production`.
See the [route_helper](https://git.sr.ht/~edwardloveall/scribe/tree/main/item/config/route_helper.cr) config for the code that powers this feature.
Other configuration needed when in `production` mode:
* PORT: The port Scribe should run on
* SECRET_KEY_BASE: A 32-bit string. Can be generated with `lucky gen.secret_key`
* DATABASE_URL: May be any valid postgres url since Scribe doesn't use a database
* Example: `postgres://does@not/matter`
