This document describes the variables that are supported in the config/overleaf.rc
file.
This file consists of variable definitions in the form NAME=value
. Lines beginning with #
are treated as comments.
Note: we recommend that you re-create the docker containers after changing anything in overleaf.rc
or variables.env
, by running bin/docker-compose down
, followed by bin/up
Sets the value of the --project-name
flag supplied to docker-compose
.
This is useful when running multiple instances of Overleaf on one host, as each instance can have a different project name.
- Default: overleaf
Sets the path to the directory that will be mounted into the main sharelatex
container, and used to store project and compile data. This can be either a full path (beginning with a /
), or relative to the base directory of the toolkit.
- Default: data/sharelatex
Sets the path to the directory that will be mounted into the main sharelatex
container, and used for making application logs available on the Docker host. This can be either a full path (beginning with a /
), or relative to the base directory of the toolkit.
Remove the config entry to disable the bind-mount. When not set, logs will be discarded when recreating the container.
- Default: not set
Sets the host IP address(es) that the container will bind to. For example, if this is set to 0.0.0.0
, then the web interface will be available on any host IP address.
Since #77 the listen mode of the application container was changed to localhost
only, so the value of OVERLEAF_LISTEN_IP
must be set to the public IP address for direct container access.
Setting OVERLEAF_LISTEN_IP
to either 0.0.0.0
or the external IP of your host will typically cause errors when used in conjunction with the TLS Proxy.
- Default:
127.0.0.1
Sets the host port that the container will bind to. For example, if this is set to 8099
and OVERLEAF_LISTEN_IP
is set to 127.0.0.1
, then the web interface will be available on http://localhost:8099
.
- Default: 80
Docker image as used by the Server Pro/CE application container. This is just the Docker image name, the Docker image tag is sourced from config/version
.
- Default:
- Server Pro:
quay.io/sharelatex/sharelatex-pro
- Community Edition:
sharelatex/sharelatex
- Server Pro:
When set to true
, tells the toolkit to use the Server Pro image (quay.io/sharelatex/sharelatex-pro
), rather than the default Community Edition image (sharelatex/sharelatex
).
- Default: false
When set to true
, tells the toolkit to use the "Sibling Containers" technique
for compiling projects in separate sandboxes, using a separate docker container for
each project. See the legacy documentation on Sandboxed Compiles for more information.
Requires SERVER_PRO=true
- Default: false
Sets the path to the docker socket on the host machine (the machine running the toolkit code). When SIBLING_CONTAINERS_ENABLED
is true
, the socket will be mounted into the container, to allow the compiler service to spawn new docker containers on the host.
Requires SIBLING_CONTAINERS_ENABLED=true
- Default: /var/run/docker.sock
Set to true
to enable the git-bridge feature (Server Pro only).
User documentation: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/Git_integration
- Default: false
Docker image as used by the git-bridge container (Server Pro only). This is just the Docker image name, the Docker image tag is sourced from config/version
.
- Default:
quay.io/sharelatex/git-bridge
Sets the path to the directory that will be mounted into the git-bridge
container (Server Pro only), and used to store the git-repositories. This can be either a full path (beginning with a /
), or relative to the base directory of the toolkit.
- Default: data/git-bridge
Configure the logging level of the git-bridge
container. Available levels: TRACE
, DEBUG
, INFO
, WARN
, ERROR
.
- Default: INFO
When set to true
, tells the toolkit to create a MongoDB container, to host the database.
When set to false
, this container will not be created, and the system will use the MongoDB database specified by MONGO_URL
instead.
- Default: true
Specifies the MongoDB connection URL to use when MONGO_ENABLED
is false
- Default: not set
Sets the path to the directory that will be mounted into the mongo
container, and used to store the MongoDB database. This can be either a full path (beginning with a /
), or relative to the base directory of the toolkit. This option only affects the local mongo
container that is created when MONGO_ENABLED
is true
.
- Default: data/mongo
Docker image as used by the MongoDB container. This is just the name of the Docker image, the Docker image tag should go into MONGO_VERSION
(see below).
- Default:
mongo
MongoDB version as used by the MongoDB container. The value must start with the major MongoDB version and a dot, e.g. 6.0
or 6.0-with-suffix
.
- Default:
6.0
When set to true
, tells the toolkit to create a Redis container, to host the redis database.
When set to false
, this container will not be created, and the system will use the Redis database specified by REDIS_HOST
and REDIS_PORT
instead.
- Default: true
Specifies the Redis host to use when REDIS_ENABLED
is false
- Default: not set
Specifies the Redis port to use when REDIS_ENABLED
is false
- Default: not set
Sets the path to the directory that will be mounted into the redis
container, and used to store the Redis database. This can be either a full path (beginning with a /
), or relative to the base directory of the toolkit. This option only affects the local redis
container that is created when REDIS_ENABLED
is true
.
- Default: data/redis
Docker image as used by the Redis container.
- Default:
redis:6.2
Turn on AOF (Append Only File) persistence for Redis. This is the recommended configuration for Redis persistence.
For additional details, see https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf/wiki/Data-and-Backups/#redis
- Default: true
When set to true
, tells the toolkit to create an NGINX container, to act as a TLS Proxy.
- Default: false
Path to the NGINX config file to use for the TLS Proxy.
- Default: config/nginx/nginx.conf
Path to the private key to use for the TLS Proxy.
- Default: config/nginx/certs/overleaf_key.pem
Path to the public certificate to use for the TLS Proxy.
- Default: config/nginx/certs/overleaf_certificate.pem
Sets the host IP address(es) that the TLS Proxy container will bind to for https. For example, if this is set to 0.0.0.0
then the https web interface will be available on any host IP address.
Typically this should be set to the external IP of your host.
- Default:
127.0.1.1
Sets the host port that the TLS Proxy container will bind to for https.
- Default: 443
Sets the host IP address(es) that the TLS Proxy container will bind to for http redirect. For example, if this is set to 127.0.1.1
then http connections to 127.0.1.1
will be redirected to the https web interface.
Typically this should be set to the external IP of your host. Do not set it to 0.0.0.0
as this will typically cause a conflict with OVERLEAF_LISTEN_IP
.
- Default:
127.0.1.1
Sets the host port that the TLS Proxy container will bind to for http.
- Default:
80
