Including environment variables in uWSGI ini files?

Question

I am using .ini files (as per uWSGI docs). It's good practise to use environment variables, but I wasn't able to get the $+environment name syntax working.

Is there a special syntax I can use to access them?

Answer 1

The syntax is $(var), for example:

chdir = $(HOME)/foobar

Is there a way to have a default (in case the env var is not set)? – Deca

@roberto, also wondering about what David is asking. For example if I wanted to set the value for threads from an environment variable, but fall back to the default (1 thread per process) if the environment variable is not defined...? – Mammillate

Answer 2

contents of evironment variables and external text files can be included using the $(ENV_VAR) and @(file_name) syntax. See also How uWSGI parses config files.
