Configuration

The default configuration for Karr isn’t necessarily what will work for your local environment. You can easily change the config to use through a config file or environment variables.

Please refer to the Configuration Reference for a complete overview.

More info on Karr configuration in the @karr/config page.

Karr needs access to a PostgreSQL database.

The database name can be configured in the config file, but it needs to exist before connecting to it. Running the Docker Postgres container with the POSTGRES_DB environment variable automatically creates the database.

The database migrations are applied automatically on API start.
