EasyHost
Remix environment variables in production
.env files are never uploaded to EasyHost. Here is how to set variables for Remix, and when each one takes effect.
How Remix reads variables
Loaders and actions read process.env on the server. To reach the browser, return values from a loader. Variables prefixed VITE_ are inlined at build time.
Set your variables
npx ezhst env set VITE_SITE_URL=https://my-app.easyhost.fun npx ezhst env import .env npx ezhst env list npx ezhst redeploy
Variables apply on the next deploy or redeploy.
What EasyHost provides
| Variable | Value | Available |
|---|---|---|
NODE_ENV | production | When the app runs, not during install or build |
PORT | 3000 | Build and runtime |
HOST | 0.0.0.0 | When the app runs |
HOSTNAME | 0.0.0.0 | Build and runtime |
Your own variables are available in both the build and the running app.
Common problems
- Variable is undefined because it was only in a
.envfile - A public variable is undefined in the browser because it changed after the build
See the Remix hub for every Remix guide, or free Remix hosting for what is included.
Frequently asked questions
Are my .env files uploaded?
No. ezhst deploy skips every .env* file. Use ezhst env set or ezhst env import.
