Environment variables

  • PANE_API_KEY secret Pane agent API key. If unset, the server auto-registers a fresh agent against the relay on first use and saves the key to the shared CLI store (~/.config/pane/config.json).
  • PANE_URL Pane relay base URL. Defaults to the hosted relay https://relay.paneui.com; set this to point at a self-hosted relay.
  • PANE_AGENT_NAME Display name for the auto-registered agent on the relay.
  • PANE_REGISTER_SECRET secret Registration secret, required only for relays running REGISTRATION_MODE=secret.
