Set Environment Variables

Configure Using the Setup Script (Recommended)

The setup script automatically configures most environment variables. To override defaults, export variables before running the script:

export AI_ROUTE_PLANNER_PORT=8080
export LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
source setup.sh --setup

Configure Manually

For manual deployment, create a .env file in the src/ directory:

HOST_IP=192.168.1.100
AI_ROUTE_PLANNER_PORT=7864
TAG=latest
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
TRAFFIC_BUFFER_DURATION=60
DATA_RETENTION_HOURS=24

Run the Docker Compose tool:

cd src
docker compose --env-file .env up
