Environment variables

Please check out the documentation for information on available environment variables and further guidance.

Hint: When running in an IPV6-only Docker/Podman environment with multiple network interfaces bound to the Frontend containers, setting the LISTEN_ADDR environment variable can be necessary as NextJS binds to only one network interface by default. Set it to :: to bind to any address.
