Prefect Community

Hey, been searching for a while but having no luck; what’s the correct environment variable for configuring the prefect server db host? I’ve tried `PREFECT__SERVER__DATABASE__HOST` but it doesn’t appear to work. Thanks

Hi <@U0145KV27UP> what exactly are you attempting to do? That looks to be the correct host config var in the prefect config

Hi rob, just replacing our config.toml with env vars. We’re trying to replace:
```[server]
  [server.database]
  host = "POSTGRES_DB_HOST_IP"```
 But the env var doesn’t have the same effect

Just wanted to check we were using the right env var. It must be something we’re doing then

Yeah that env var should be updating that config value and looks to be correct. Feel free to open an issue on the repo with some information on steps to reproduce if it isn’t being used so we can triage :slightly_smiling_face:
