Configuration

Simfra is configured entirely via environment variables. There are no config files, no YAML, no TOML. Set an environment variable before starting the binary and it takes effect immediately.

# Minimal: start with defaults
simfra

# Typical: bootstrap a default account with Docker-backed services
SIMFRA_BOOTSTRAP=standard SIMFRA_DOCKER=true simfra

# Production-like: persistence, custom credentials, Docker
SIMFRA_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/simfra \
SIMFRA_BOOTSTRAP=standard \
SIMFRA_DOCKER=true \
SIMFRA_ROOT_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIA... \
SIMFRA_ROOT_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=... \
