How to add environment variables on Voroa

Add and update environment variables for your Voroa service. Values are stored securely, encrypted, and never shown back for security.

Environment variables let you pass configuration and secrets to your app — API keys, database URLs, feature flags — without hardcoding them in your code.

Add or update variables

  1. Open the service and go to Environment.
  2. Add each variable as a key and value.
  3. Select Save & redeploy.

Saving redeploys your service so the new values are available at build and runtime.

Values are write-only for security

Voroa stores values securely and encrypted. For your protection, saved values are never shown back — the dashboard displays existing keys with a masked placeholder. To change a value, re-enter the key with the new value and save; it overwrites the old one.

Reading variables in your app

Access variables through your language’s standard environment API — for example process.env.MY_KEY in Node. The port is provided as process.env.PORT; see build and start commands.
