I'm assuming that you are using t2d script or dokku or heroku to run your Forem.
t2d script
Within the script you can see an option Configure ENV variable for an existing app, choose that to enter the ENV_VARIABLE and its VALUE. The ENV_VARIABLE was DEFAULT_EMAIL and the required VALUE was your email-id
Screenshots for more info.
Here you can add/Update ENV variables, prefer this, so that the script also know about the name of your APP
To react this screenshot, within the automatic setup, first choose Forem => then you can see this.
With in this image, at the bottom you can see configure ENV variables for an Existing app; If you are using this, the APP NAME should be nforem or forem. If you are not aware of your app name, I would sugggest you go with the previous screenshot.
For more info, you can watch my video, in which, at the end I added one variable.
To list the name of your app => dokku config apps:list
If you insatlled Forem via t2d-script, the name of your app was nforem
Heroku
On Heorku, within your app settings you can add ENV variables section, navigate to that place and add the above mentioned ENV_VARIABELS and its respective VALUES.
Hi @akhil
,
What if we followed forem.dev/foremteam/self-host-quic... install instructions and did not use t2d script, dokku, or heroku. I have a successful install but need to unset\change the default email I used. I plan to put this install on Google Cloud into production. Before I get too far along in the setup, should I start over and choose a different path or make other actions now to make future admin easier? Thank you.
